Heading 1
The "Our Lagoon - Our Legacy" Program
is presented by the Florida Remembered Society through a grant from Florida Humanities.
There will be speakers from One Lagoon, UF/IFAS Florida Sea Grant Program, The Manatee Center and Docks for a Clean Lagoon. Each agency will have exhibits and hands-on activities in addition to the VOG Workshop.
Come learn about the many efforts underway to restore the ecosystem of the Lagoon to benefit the water quality, growth of seagrass and healthy habitat for over 4000 species that call the estuary their home. Find out how you can participate in small or large ways to make it all happen.
EXTRA BONUS!
The "Red, White and FOOD - Feeding the American Spirit With a Taste of Local History" exhibits will be available to view at the historic schoolhouse during this event. This is a Smithsonian Institution Exhibition on Main Street .
