Andrew Zimmern’s favorite bottarga (sun-cured mullet roe) is produced in Manatee County’s historic fishing village of Cortez. Marine-science research being conducted in Sarasota could have applications in human healthcare and the defense industry. From sustainable seafood to biomedical breakthroughs, there’s much more going on beneath the waves in our region than you might realize. And that’s why Gulf Coast Community Foundation launched the Gulf Coast Innovation Challenge. The $500,000 incentive-grant competition seeks to inspire and fund new opportunities to grow our Blue Economy—the activities, institutions, and business at work in the diverse industries of our marine-sciences sector. The Innovation Challenge is open to entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, conservationists—anyone interested in saving our seas and feeding our communities while growing our Blue Economy. But submissions close April 30. Learn more and sign up your team at GulfCoastChallenge.org.
