Seagrass Matting - Private

This event is for the  Friends of the Manatee Lagoon only.

Help us create seagrass mats that will be used to restore seagrass meadows in the Indian River Lagoon. This project is an integral part of our FOSTER (Florida Oceanographic Seagrass Training Education Restoration) program. We will be attaching seagrass fragments to pre-cut burlap mats. No experience needed, but must have nimble fingers. This event is outdoors in our Group Pavilion. Wear clothes that can get a bit wet and dirty, shoes, and please bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Please note the minimum age for this event is 5 years old. Participants ages 16-17 need to have signed FOS waivers if participating without a parent/guardian. Contact Rosemary at rbadger@floridaocean.org to get these waivers emailed. We will meet you outside of Admissions.

Registration closes on Thursday, June 2nd at 2pm, or when full.

We have limited space available for this event.
