Few things strike as much fear in a boater as the sight of a waterspout on the horizon. These funnel-shaped clouds are actually offshore tornadoes. And for boaters, they can be just as deadly. National Weather Service meteor- ologist Wallace DeMaurice says water- spouts are often associated with summer squalls. And they're particu- larly prevalent near the Gulf Stream. Because the twisters weave their way across the water in such an unpredictable pattern, the best advice is to stay off the water when severe weather threatens. But if you get caught in an offshore squall, use common sense. If you see a waterspout, don't try to outrun it. Instead, move away from it at a 90- degree angle, DeMaurice says. Report the sighting to the National Weather Service, and listen to your radio for advisories. If you're in a marina when severe weather threatens, get off your boat and follow the National Weather Ser- vice's guidelines for severe weather. The Gulf and South Atlantic Fisher- ies Development Foundation has awarded $20,000 to Sea Grant and the Division of Marine Fisheries to conduct a research and demonstration project for turtle excluder devices or TEDs. Sea Grant marine agents and DMF biologists will test two versions of the TED in the state's offshore waters to determine which version performs best. The results of the study will help fishermen decide which TED to use. Continued on next page.
