50th Anniversary Celebration

50 years ago, we went to the moon! That same year, and much closer to home, the Florida Legislature established the Boca Ciega Bay Aquatic Preserve and launched our community into a new generation of environmental advocacy.

We hope you join State Officials, County Commissioners, Mayors, Municipal Elected Officials, County and City Staff to celebrate 50 years of aquatic preservation!

Sponsored by the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, this FREE to attend, citizen-driven, science-based program will feature educational kiosks, interactive activities, a virtual reality (VR) headset experience, and special prizes. College students and faculty will meet, greet, and host activities before and after the program. Light refreshments will be served.
