We’re eight episodes in for this very special Connected By Water series, 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 VP of Brand and Marketing, Kouri Carey, who is one of the great men behind the scenes for this massive conservation effort. Kouri and I sat down to discuss conservation being a huge part of Star brite’s DNA. It involves a ton of hard work to keep such a great company moving forward, while all along maintaining your purpose. His passionate voice is dedicated to doing it the Star brite way and influential in preserving and restoring Florida's natural resources, fisheries, waterways 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. 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 @papaspilar @starbrite_com @seawardsystems @partsvu4u @olukai @linkgenie @project_seasafe • #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.
