Calendar Solid Waste
Tampa, Fla. (July 20, 2021) - The City of Tampa is closely monitoring the red tide situation and in constant contact with our state, local, and regional partners. Tampa employees have removed tons of dead fish and other biomass from our shores, but to date, the city has not been impacted nearly to the degree as our neighbors in Pinellas County and elsewhere. That could change quickly, however, if the wind shifts and pushes more dead fish into Tampa Bay. We are working closely with other government agencies and experts to prepare and to help protect Tampa Bay.
- The Department of Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management is prepared to assist in the disposal of dead fish resulting from red tide.
- Residents collecting small amounts of fish are encouraged to double-bag the fish and place them in their curbside blue garbage cart for collection.
- The Department is prepared to expand operations to accommodate mass quantities if the need arises.

Storytelling Through Photography Remote Learning
These Zoom sessions will fully reflect the same content as with the on-ground workshops offered by the FMoPA institute.
We all have a story to tell, a legacy or statement, a call to action, a declaration of what you believe, what makes you mad or happy, your unique observations of the world around you, your life itself with its peaks and valleys. The medium of photography makes it possible to tell your story and sometimes make a change. A picture tells a thousand words. Several pictures correctly sequenced tell a full story – your individual story.
In this workshop, you will learn the art of telling a story through creating a visual narrative. Multiple images have the power of expressing thoughts, ideas, experiences and beliefs in a linear format. Storyboarding and careful sequencing of photographs following a clear concept, your unique voice and communications to the outside world, using many case studies and background information on the starting point of any project: The Why, What, Who, and How.
We all have a unique story to share with others, it can be a powerful and quiet voice, but we have a responsibility to tell our stories as part of our background, culture, legacy and circumstances. The power of words through titles or series’ names are also explored, rounding up to a full story.
