Anker Innovations Joins Forces with Tampa Bay Watch to Promote Environmental Conservation
Tampa Bay Watch restoration staff and volunteers form a human chain to transport bags of recycled oyster shells to the shoreline of MacDill Air Force Base. The bags form a living shoreline to mimic natural oyster habitat to prevent erosion and foster new oyster growth.
Tampa Bay Watch volunteers pass bags filled with recycled oyster shells from the Shells for Shoreline program, a partnership with local restaurants aimed at returning shells to the estuary to support oyster habitat restoration.
At low tide, a living shoreline installed by Tampa Bay Watch reveals new oyster growth on marine-safe oyster reef balls. These ORBs serve as barriers against harmful wave action and provide habitats for hundreds of oysters and other marine invertebrates.
Anker collaborates with Tampa Bay Watch to enable their mission of bay restoration and protection through mutual aid and community-focused events.
TAMPA, FL, USA, June 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Anker Innovations, a global leader in mobile charging and consumer electronics, is celebrating National Ocean Month in part by kicking off a new partnership with the Tampa Bay Watch stewardship program. Anker staff members will be traveling to Florida and are inviting members of our Anker, Anker SOLIX, and eufy communities to learn more about Tampa Bay Watch's mission and directly engage with Tampa Bay conservation efforts. During this trip, the Anker Innovations community will tour Tampa Bay Watch's facilities, explore the Tampa Bay ecosystem on a private eco-vessel tour, actively participate in a beach clean-up, and meet with local environmentalists who are using innovative solutions like living shorelines to enrich the environment.Anker Innovations' New Alliance with Tampa Bay Watch
