THANK YOU to Eckerd College's Gulf Scholar Program Co-Director Amanda Hagood and students, Hazel and Cami for providing a Beach Health presentation and activities to our afterschool children. Hazel and Cami showed a 10-minute presentation about beach habitat and creatures, and then highlighted the impact that trash and development has on those beaches. After the presentation, the children worked in groups to create their beaches and competed in creating the most resilient beach to withstand flood waters.
