Since 2016, Florida Bay Forever has worked to protect Florida Bay and inform residents and residents about the importance of the bay so they can be better stewards for it! After successfully operating remotely for years to advance Florida Bay policy priorities and community engagement, the organization has recently found a home at Green Turtle Hammock Nature Preserve in partnership with the Village of Islamorada. Housed in the historic Russell cottage, a fixture in Islamorada since 1937, the Florida Bay Eco-Center features exhibits and information about Florida Bay, and a retail store with unique gifts . From this location, the organization now offers immersive educational experiences for visitors of all ages.
