We were happy to return to Conscience Point Shellfish to help with the building of their Bottle Upwelling System (BUPSY) inside of the lab.

When the water temperatures are too cold for oyster growth in the outside Downwellers, they will be able to let oyster spat grow inside of these bottles. With a small lab, their efforts were limited due to the lack of space during the winter and early spring months. This system should help triple seed production compared to last year. Conscience Point donates to Southampton Township to help keep waters for everyone to enjoy!

AdventHealth’s Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute is leading this project and is uniquely positioned to improve the devastating outcomes of heart disease. In 2006 they established the Trina Hidalgo Heart Care Center to serve their most vulnerable and isolated residents. These are heart patients who are uninsured and many living at poverty levels. This Center is Central Florida’s only cardiac center that provides free evidence-based medical management, education, and support to reduce risks and improve health and quality of life.

We were happy to present Grant funds to United Against Poverty, Inc. in Florida.
