Things To Do
SRQ DAILY THURSDAY FAMILY AND RECREATION EDITION
THURSDAY AUG 6, 2026 |
Discover how innovation and environmental stewardship are helping restore the Manatee River. Join a panel from the Palmetto Community Redevelopment Agency to explore the award-winning Palmetto Bay Oyster Restoration Project and learn how more than 300 Reef Balls are rebuilding oyster habitat, improving water quality, and creating a healthier ecosystem for marine life. Hear about the project’s promising early results, the ongoing scientific monitoring that tracks its progress each quarter, and the important role of nearby Connor Park. Its 550,000-gallon stormwater reservoir helps filter runoff before it reaches the restoration site, demonstrating how thoughtful infrastructure and habitat restoration can work together to protect our local waterways.
