What a great evening! 🦪🥂

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Oysters & Champagne Workshop in partnership with the West Palm Beach Fishing Club!

Our members enjoyed fresh oysters and champagne while connecting with fellow marine industry professionals and learning about the benefits of vertical oyster gardens for our local waterways.

We loved seeing our members get hands-on and dive into a new way to support the health of our marine environment. 🌊

Thank you to the West Palm Beach Fishing Club for making this special evening possible!

Conservation happens when a community comes together. 🌊🐢

Last week, we were honored to join Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park and Angari Foundation for the release of Shelly and CeCe, two juvenile loggerhead sea turtles, into the Atlantic Ocean.

Seeing these incredible animals return home after spending the past year educating thousands of visitors and students was a meaningful reminder of the impact collaboration can have. Through the Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back Grant Program, we're proud to support organizations that are protecting our marine environment while inspiring the next generation of ocean advocates.

Here's to strong partnerships and a healthier future for our waterways.
