The Port of Virginia

The Port of Virginia and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company co-hosted the 4th Annual Exporting Smiles Tournament 2024 earlier this month at Top Golf Virginia Beach. The event raised more than $91,000 to benefit Operation Smile, a Virginia-based global charity that provides free cleft surgery and related medical care to those who need it most. A special thank you goes out to our 18 sponsors and more than 175 attendees. #PortofVirginia #AmericasMostModernGateway #DynamicPartnership #FutureForwardMindset #OperationalExcellence #OperationSmile #Fundraising #Charity #Community

The Port of Virginia is proud to have partnered with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the City of Hampton, and Amazon to complete a 158-foot living shoreline at Bluebird Gap Farm earlier this month.

What are living shorelines? 🍃 Sustainable, natural approach to protecting tidal shoreline from erosion 🌱 Utilize native wetland plants, grasses, shrubs, trees, and other natural materials 🐢 Create a better shoreline habitat for wildlife 💧 Improve water quality by settling sediment and filtering pollution Read more about the project at https://lnkd.in/eWrKC_7d. #PortofVirginia #AmericasMostModernGateway #DynamicPartnership #FutureForwardMindset #OperationalExcellence #SaveTheBay #ChesapeakeBay #Environment #Sustainability #Community #Volunteering
