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.

Tampa Bay Watch is such a valuable organization to Tampa Bay. I am lucky to be a part of their efforts. Molly was very informative about the volunteer process and responsibilities. The process went smoothly, and after completing the training materials, I was able to spend time with Glen, who provided a wealth of information about the TBW mission to the Tampa Bay marine life. Kaitlyn, who is a seasoned volunteer, trained me on the responsibilities of the Touch Tank Volunteer and educated me about the various sea creatures in the tank. I still have a lot to learn! I already have another day scheduled and am excited to continue with the program. I will also use Volunteer Match to discover other volunteer oppportunities in the area. A great tool!
