Donate to Florida Conservation

At Oyster Boys Conservation, we are dedicated to preserving the aquatic splendor of Southwest Florida. Through your support, we transform everyday operations into significant strides for marine life restoration. We're not just about ideas; we put those ideas into action with tangible, eco-friendly results.

Financial contributions to our nonprofit are more than just transactions; they're the lifeblood of initiatives that make real changes:

• Sustainable Shell Recycling: Your donations directly support the collection and transformation of oyster shells from local restaurants.
• VOG Installations: Each donation contributes to the crafting and placement of Vertical Oyster Gardens, vital for water filtration.
• Educational Workshops: We leverage funds to educate and engage the community through interactive learning experiences.
• Community Empowerment: Contributions help us create volunteer opportunities that foster a conservation-minded society.

Each VOG consists of 20 recycled oyster shells, each capable of filtering up to 50 gallons of water a day. The math is simple: more VOGs equal cleaner water and a healthier marine ecosystem.

Our mission, driven by founders Dom and Vince Marino, began with a simple yet powerful idea to protect the waters they call home. What started as a creative NFT project, Club Manny, has evolved into a full-fledged conservation effort addressing issues like runoff pollution and harmful algae blooms.

• Collaborative Conservation: We prioritize partnerships with like-minded organizations to amplify our impact.
• Shoreline Resiliency: Our efforts contribute to the protection and strengthening of Florida's coastlines.

Join us on this critical mission. Whether through a one-time gift or by establishing a routine of giving, your contribution makes a measurable difference:

• Financial Stewardship: Every penny is allocated responsibly to further our cause of waterway conservation.
• Transparency and Trust: We ensure donors know exactly how their generosity is aiding our efforts.

With a collective focus on conservation empowerment, Oyster Boys Conservation stands as a beacon of hope for our natural waterways. Your financial support is not just a donation; it's a step towards a sustainable future for the waters of Sarasota and beyond. Together, let's continue to protect, educate, and restore—every contribution is a ripple that creates waves of change.
