In the stunningly clear lakes, it didn’t take long to make contact with fish. Jerry finally realized his fishing desire after about 10 minutes of battle with a nanny shark that resembled bulldogs.

A bonnethead, a sizable southern shark, and another, somewhat smaller caregiver shark were all swimming around the boat when he finally caught one.
Jerry was given a pair of glasses by Bajio, which were truly memorable for him on the journey. He expressed his love for the way they made it possible for him to view things in the water that were unimaginable.
Captain. He left the bay feeling inspired and accomplished after Mo spoke with him about the bonefish, enable, and tarpon anglers who had come to do that.
We traveled to Marathon Key and took a plane journey of the grass flats. He observed two dolphins, a few dolphin species, several enormous stingray fish, and an even larger loggerhead sea turtle as well as the ball scarring caused by boats.


Teens who are struggling to get animals conservationists are mentored by Higher Calling Wildlife. We’ll talk more about photography in another article, but it played a significant role in our trip. Jerry has vowed to use photography to raise awareness of conservation.
Immediately, we’ll be sharing more from this journey, including Jerry’s Big Pine Key and Everglades images.
Would you be willing to assist another teenagers with similar experiences? This fall, we’ll be going on excursions in Tennessee and Colorado, and Florida is already on our radar for 2024.
Ok, you can donate money that is tax deductible.
We think we’re educating the next generation of environmentalists about how, despite obstacles, great things can still happen in their lives.
