Community-Based Restoration With SCCF's Coastal Watch
Description
Learn all about SCCF's Coastal Watch program with Policy Associate Allie Pecenka and Coastal Watch Director Kealy Pfau. Each season, Coastal Watch engages hundreds of volunteers, who help us restore oyster and mangrove habitat, clean our beaches, replant native marshes, and manage our preserve lands. Whether you're a visitor to Sanibel and Captiva, a permanent resident, or just passing through for the day, Coastal Watch has tons of opportunities to get involved in helping our environment.
Pecenka and Pfau discuss the history of the program, the physical and mental health benefits of volunteering, and the importance of community-based restoration. They discuss the ups and downs of restoration through recent storm events, share exciting new opportunities to get involved in 2025-26, and highlight our Voluntourism program, which is engaging tourists to make a difference during their time on the islands.
