    The Plywood Regatta honors the craft of boat building and the excitement of recreational boating in an effort to continue “building boating’s future … today!”

    A maximum of 38 teams of middle school, high school and marine technical school students will attempt to build sea-worthy vessels on Saturday, April 6th using simple hand-tools and only the supplied materials of plywood, 3M 5200 fast cure caulk and zip ties. Once the boats are complete students will then paint and decorate their boats. On Sunday, April 7th, participants will compete in a fun-filled and friendly rivalry when the finished, decorated boats line up and race in a series of heats to determine an event champion.

    All Plywood Regatta proceeds benefit South Florida’s marine industry education programs and the Plywood Regatta Scholarship Fund. The aim of these programs is to encourage marine education and develop students’ interest in the marine industry.

    You can find the schedule, rules and other information of interest on the event website. Registration forms are also online and can be downloaded, printed and returned. The deadline to register is March 22, 2019.

    There is a minimum of 6 students and a maximum of 8 students per team. Only one registration form per team should be submitted, along with the Participant Consent Form for each student participating. Don’t have a team but still want to be part of the fun? Complete the individual registration form and we will assign you to a team.

    Admission: free

     

    Underwater and outdoor enthusiasts, eco­travelers and families are encouraged to celebrate the marine environment at Mote Marine Laboratory’s annual event, Mote’s Ocean Fest: A Community Celebration.

    Ocean Fest: A Community Celebration is an annual outreach event that takes place in the Florida Keys to raise awareness of the work Mote Marine Laboratory is doing for coral reef research and restoration, and its more than a dozen other research programs, along with the work of likeminded partner environmental organizations. The funds raised through Ocean Fest: A Community Celebration go directly to help fund coral reef research and restoration programs.

    Join Mote Marine Laboratory for a day of fun, crafts, games, music, food, and shopping as they showcase Florida’s treasured marine environment while raising money for coral reef research and restoration.

    Mote’s Ocean Fest: A Community Celebration attendees can explore conservation and environmental exhibits, meet live animals and experience touch tanks, view and purchase wares from local marine artists and vendors, enjoy music and try their skill at active amusements. Meet Mote scientists and researchers, along with other conservation and environmental organizations from around Florida to learn about the work they are doing and how you can help.

    By attending Ocean Fest: A Community Celebration, you are already taking a step toward understanding the commitment it takes to positively affect the world around us – both on land and sea.

    For each Protect Our Reefs license plate sold, Mote’s Protect Our Reefs program receives a direct $25 donation. This donation funding goes straight to the restoration and research of our coral reefs so the more plates that are sold, the faster we can restore our coral reefs.

    Find more ways to help our corals and reefs.
