Rivers are Life Premieres ‘The Captain & the Super Clams’
MIDLAND, Mich., June 5, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Today, Rivers are Life proudly premieres its newest film "The Captain & The Super Clams'' which takes viewers to the east coast of Florida to Indian River Lagoon. This journey brings us alongside River Heroes Dr. Todd Osbourne and fishing legend Captain Blair Wiggins, as they work to restore the clam population that was decimated by unregulated commercial clamming in the 1990s.
From being on the water each day, Captain Blair noticed a dramatic decrease in the local clam population. Clams work as natural filtration systems and the water quality began to deteriorate in their absence, creating mass algae blooms that blocked sunlight from reaching the seagrass, which is a vital part of the Indian River Lagoon’s ecosystem. Captain Blair knew that action needed to be taken to bring the clams back, so in 2019, he teamed up with Dr. Todd Osbourne and the Indian River Clam Restoration Project.
After days of searching for surviving clams, the team was only able to find 39 that survived in an area that once hosted over 9 billion clams. These 39 “super clams” were then transported to the University of Florida’s Whitney Laboratory where the team carefully bred them, producing millions of clams that were ready to be returned to the lagoon. The Indian River Clam Restoration Project team continues to carefully monitor the quality of the ecosystem by collecting data and conducting scientific water tests regularly. The team is also taking an innovative approach to building new breeding areas within the lagoon, such as using a drone to spread new clams across large areas which used to be done by hand.
"As an avid outdoor enthusiast, what was happening here in the lagoon was easily noticeable and we knew that changes needed to be made," said Dr. Todd Osbourne. "Teaming up with Blair and the Indian River Clam Restoration Project has allowed us to take a scientific approach while incorporating local knowledge and grassroots efforts from folks who love living and fishing here."
"The Captain & The Super Clams" showcases the positive impact that a local community can have on their natural surroundings. By monitoring and noticing the negative changes in the lagoon over time, the Indian River Lagoon community was able to pivot and provide resources that will help restore their local waterway, bringing a thriving clam population back to naturally filter the water.

Church and Charity: Success Financial Team Supports Calvary Boise’s Thanksgiving Dinner
BOISE, Idaho, November 19, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Thanksgiving is a time to show gratitude and appreciation for what one has, but it is also a time to give to those who need it the most. As the saying goes, true fulfillment doesn't come from what one gets, but from what one gives. A great way of getting in the spirit of service for Thanksgiving is donating food to people facing hunger. There are many opportunities to volunteer at food banks or food pantries in local areas around the holidays and they are all counting on friendly donations to help feed families or individuals. By helping, people will not only adopt an "attitude of gratitude" and fulfill their needs for contribution, but they might also create meaningful holiday memories.
Giving back has become a core value for top business consulting provider - Success Financial Team. Based in Boise, ID, Success Financial Team is no stranger to supporting the local church community and charitable organizations by providing sizeable donations. This Thanksgiving, they are proud to be a part of Giving Thanksgiving - a campaign organized by Calvary Boise in order to serve traditional holiday meals to the homeless.
Giving Thanksgiving is all about bringing the community together and helping those that are in need. In the holiday rush full of festivities, family gatherings and ever-growing shopping lists, it is often easy to forget that there are people who rely on the assistance of others. It is important not to lose sight of one's core values and participate in acts of kindness towards the less fortunate. This November 19, the whole local community, including students and adults, comes together to serve homemade meals and desserts along with coffee and hot cocoa to people that have no home. It is a great way to be of service, encounter Jesus and find love, peace, and joy of giving.
Success Financial Team views their charitable efforts as their social responsibility for all the success they were fortunate enough to achieve. 2021 was an eventful year for Success Financial LLC and they have managed to achieve several milestones in their business journey, including relocating and finding their new long-term home in downtown Boise in Idaho. They have since set out to become an active member of the local society by donating to meaningful causes and pledging to give back every year as a part of their ongoing commitment to "pay it forward."
There is always a greater purpose behind Success Financial Team's actions. They relish in being recognized for their achievements because every day they are helping people transform their lives. Watching their clients reach their business goals and set out on a path of success gives them a sense of joy and fulfillment. Drawing parallels to their line of business, contributing to church and charities, and helping the needy around them is their way of changing the lives of people that need it the most. It is also their way of staying connected to faith and making a difference.
The team at Success Financial LLC has proudly supported Calvary Boise in the past and now they are excited to be able to donate to their well-intentioned Thanksgiving event as well. By doing so, they want to express that they are thankful for what they have, but also that they are thankful to have the ability to give back to others. They would also like to encourage others to follow their lead and pay-it-forward by supporting their local charity or church.
It's also important to note that giving back doesn't always mean financial donations. There are other ways to help such as volunteering at shelters, delivering, and donating goods, fostering, or adopting a pet and so on. It is not too late to make a difference this holiday season.
