Be a part of Tampa Bay Watch's longest-term restoration project at MacDill Air Force Base! The goal is to stabilize the eroding shoreline, provide hard bottom habitats for fish and wildlife resources and promote water quality improvements in the Tampa Bay ecosystem.
The minimum age to participate is 16 years old as this is a heavy project as reef balls weigh 200 pounds each. Two people share the weight of each reef ball at a time to install it on the shoreline. Learn more about living shorelines.
Driver's license information (full name including middle initial, DL #, state who issued DL) is required one week prior to the project date for security clearance. Please email this info to Rachel Arndt at rarndt@tampabaywatch.org in order to register for the project.

Mission Statement
Tampa Bay Watch, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit stewardship program dedicated exclusively to the protection and restoration of the marine and wetland environments of the Tampa Bay estuary through scientific and educational programs.
Description
Founded in 1993, we perform a variety of habitat restoration and protection activities throughout the year utilizing thousands of volunteers to help the bay recover from its environmental threats. Individuals of all ages from families, community groups, and schools participate in native grass plantings, oyster bar construction, coastal cleanups, and wildlife protection each year demonstrating environmental stewardship in its purest form. The efforts of Tampa Bay Watch to restore and protect the bay's habitat through stewardship provide effective long-term improvements to the bay and empower our community to counteract local environmental problems. Learning how to achieve and maintain a healthy environment is a legacy that will influence our children and future generations for years to come.
