In this first episode of a very special Connected By Water series, we’re on location at the 2025 4th Annual Star brite Project SeaSafe Clean Water Collective event, held at the Old Fish House Bar & Grill in Grant-Valkaria, Florida. Our guest is Star brite’s Conservation Director, Cory Redwine, who is at the forefront of this monumental conservation effort. Cory’s leadership and unwavering dedication to preserving and restoring Florida's natural resources have made her a key figure in the fight to protect our fisheries and coastal ecosystems. At this year’s event, the conservation efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. With the help of the local volunteer community and the Project SeaSafe crew, hundreds of new mangrove bombs were made and planted to help rebuild vital coastal habitats, and in a groundbreaking move, four million clams were released into the Indian River via drone, a revolutionary step in ecological restoration. Throughout the episode, Cory shares the passion behind these projects and offers insights into the hard work and collaborations that go into protecting Florida’s waterways. The event also drew celebrities and influencers from the Florida fishing community, all coming together to celebrate and support conservation. Join us for a look at the incredible work being done, and the people who are making it happen, in this inspiring episode of the Connected By Water Podcast. It’s a celebration of community, conservation, and a collective effort to make a lasting impact on Florida’s waters and wildlife. • The Connected By Water Podcast is Fueled by Papa’s Pilar Rum and Protected by Star brite • @connectedbywater @starbrite @seawardsystems @partsvu @olukai @linkgenie • #connectedbywater #papaspilar #starbrite #TeamDoGooder #ProjectSeaSafe #olukai #seawardsystems #partsvu #linkgenie #podcast #floridapodcast #IndianRiverLagoon #clams #cleanwater #mangroves #conservation #SaveFlorida #longlivetheeverglades #dfriel #dfrielart Learn more about your ad choices.
