Spend a glorious afternoon sipping delicious drinks and nibbling hors d'oeuvres as you mingle with Sea to Shore Alliance scientists and friends at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. Enjoy live music and breathtaking views as you bid on unique trips, prizes, and items at the silent auction. Guests will also enjoy a presentation by world renowned dolphin expert, Dr. Randall Wells, Director of the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, who will tell us about his 30+ years of studying dolphins of Sarasota Bay and around the world. Listen to Dr. James "Buddy" Powell, our Executive Director, share stories about his adventures living in the West African bush or working as a field guide for Jacques Cousteau in Crystal River when he was only a teenager. All proceeds from this event benefit Sea to Shore Alliance’s work to protect manatees, North Atlantic right whales, sea turtles and their habitats. Mark your calendars for September 10th! It will be an afternoon to remember!
