    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY JUN 27, 2015 |

    At just 12 years old, Lexi Mariash has her goals set high. A few years back, she founded local organization Turtle Inc. with a commitment to helping the sea turtle programs at Mote Marine Laboratory and educating today’s youth about the environment and sea creatures.
