“From bayside backwaters to the oceanside coral reefs and Gulfstream, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is at the cultural and economic center of this slice of the world. Strengthening it’s vibrancy is at the top of our ‘to-do’ list every day, yet we are mindful these efforts can have unintended impacts downstream. Now, thanks to a partnership with Brightmark, plastic waste from our mooring buoy program is no longer destined for a thousand year decay in landfills. While sanctuary boaters keep our reefs safe by utilizing a network of more than 900 buoys, when material from those moorings is replaced, Brightmark transforms it into circular plastics, which keep our world a little safer.”

“Since the majority of discarded plastics that the world produces ends up in our waterways or oceans, I don’t think we can talk enough about the extent that plastics negatively affect the marine environment and its inhabitants. Our planet is in need of environmental solutions, and there are brilliant people doing just that at Brightmark. We’re off to a great start and we love working with Bob and his team. On behalf of the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, I hope that our partnership with Brightmark keeps growing so that we can keep educating, informing and enlightening more students every year to have a long-term generational impact that will benefit our planet.”
