The students at Conniston Middle School and Surface 71 have been hard at work with us collecting beach trash and creating sculptures out of the plastics and nets picked up along our shores.
Manatee Lagoon will be hosting these sculptures all summer to raise awareness on the ocean's plight and to educate on how we can be better environmental stewards.

The Last Plastic Straw - SAY NO TO STRAW AT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND BARS!
Over 500,000,000 plastic straws are used each day in the United States. In only the past twenty years, people have come to expect plastic straws in every drink, in an example of extreme waste being generated for minimal convenience. These short-lived tools are usually dropped into a garbage can with no further thought, instantly becoming a source of plastic pollution.
The Last Plastic Straw initiative seeks to activate citizens through a grassroots campaign to encourage individuals to push for change in restaurant protocol and practices in their local communities around the world.
