MANG is excited to announce our new partnership with Pine Island Redfish. Together, we’ll grow and restore mangroves on Florida’s west coast by utilizing nutrient-rich wastewater from sustainable aquaculture. Pine Island Redfish is at the forefront of aquaculture innovation, using its recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology to farm redfish and cultivate saltwater plants like mangroves.
This partnership will allow us to expand large-scale mangrove restoration in areas devastated by hurricanes, helping to rebuild and protect vital coastal ecosystems. Together, we’re strengthening communities and restoring the places we love.
Looking to get involved? Three new drop-off locations have just opened on Florida's west coast for mangrove propagule collection:
Mote Marine Laboratory – Main Campus
1600 Ken Thompson Pkwy, Sarasota, FL 34236
Pine Island Redfish at Mote Aquaculture Park
12300 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota, FL 34240

Be sure to follow collection instructions and keep an eye out for all three species. 👀🌱🌎
