This All-American Weekend, you can help The Florida Aquarium plant 250 mangroves with a small gift of $25.
These powerful coastal trees protect shorelines, provide critical habitat for wildlife, capture carbon from the atmosphere, and strengthen the health and resilience of Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Your gift will support our mangrove outplantings beginning on World Mangrove Day, July 26, and create a lasting impact.
Visit the Mangrove Legacy Project kiosk during your visit July 3–5 to make a donation or give online today.
