UF Nature Coast: Living Shoreline Planting

Take part in an effort to “shore up” and sustain coastal marshes!

The University of Florida’s Institute of Food & Agricultural Services (IFAS) Nature Coast Biological Station seeks volunteers to assist with some marsh plantings at G Street in Cedar Key. Shifts will take place Friday and Saturday. Advance sign-up for this opportunity is required.

The Nature Coast spans the Big Bend of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, ranging from Hernando to Wakulla County. The region contains one of North America’s most pristine coastlines, with extensive seagrass meadows, valuable recreational and commercial fisheries, and healthy wildlife populations, including marine mammals (manatee, dolphin), diverse waterbirds, and sea turtles. The region also supports productive shellfish fisheries (shrimp, oyster) and a vibrant hard clam aquaculture industry.
