Come celebrate it — and learn how you can help protect all of Florida’s beaches at this panel and reception.

Brooker, Policy Counsel, Ocean Conservancy; Elizabeth Fetherston-Resch, Director, Florida RESTORE Act Centers of Excellence, Florida Institute of Oceanography, University of South Florida; and Andy Hayslip, Executive Director, Tampa Bay Waterkeeper.
