Please join Sarasota Bay Watch in partnership with the Sarasota Yacht Club for the 3rd Annual Scallopalooza - an exciting evening of food and fun to raise funds for scallop restoration.

The scallop population in Sarasota Bay has been drastically reduced over the years. Based on scientific expertise Sarasota Bay Watch launched a ten year restoration program raising scallops in shellfish hatcheries and releasing the larvae into our local sea grass beds to result in a self-perpetuating local population.

Over the past two years, Sarasota Bay Watch has raised funds and distributed 24 million scallop larvae into Sarasota Bay. Now in our 3rd year of this ten year restoration plan, Sarasota Bay Watch remains strong in our commitment by executing what Fish and Wildlife Research Scientists consider to be 'the most aggressive scallop restoration in the state of Florida".

Register before July 29, to be a part of this unique restoration effort!
