In light of the devastation in our community from the recent hurricane and tornadoes, we have decided to cancel the ELC’s Heartbeat Celebration and postpone the Artist Meet and Greet on 10/13. All energy should be devoted to supporting our fellow residents with clean-up and restoration efforts at this time and in the near future.
Thank you to our generous sponsors and participants for your continued support. We look forward to our second annual event next fall.
The winners will be announced on our website and Facebook event page and checks will be mailed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to 772-589-5050 or email give@DiscoverELC.org.
Enter our Catch-Photo-Release (CPR) Inshore Fishing Tournament benefiting education and conservation efforts about the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). By promoting the catch, photo, and release (CPR) method of fishing, we emphasize responsible angling practices that ensure the sustainability of our aquatic resources.
Target species are snook, redfish, trout, and tarpon caught from the shore or a vessel. Divisions are Conventional, Fly, and Junior.
Fishing will take place along the 156 miles of the Indian River Lagoon (from the Jupiter to the Ponce Inlets).
Lines in the water at 12 AM on 9/14 ~ Lines out of the water at 11:59 AM on 10/12
Also, taking place during the same time frame is our inaugural Lionfish Derby! A state-wide, no-holds-barred lionfish harvesting extravaganza. Join us in removing these tasty and devastatingly invasive fish and help preserve our reefs for future generations.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission encourages removal efforts of lionfish. Since 2014 Florida has removed over 191,000 of the invasive species. Help save our reefs and enter your numbers for a chance to win cash prizes for quantity of lionfish harvested.
If you are interested in participating, volunteering, or sponsoring these events, please contact us at Give@DiscoverELC.org or call 772-589-5050.
