is a special place and one of
the few places on earth with
more than 110,000 acres of
relatively pristine mangroves
and waterways that need our
protection.
I am glad you could join us for our signature event, the
Batfish Bash for the Bay. This event helps support science
education, stewardship and research at the Reserve.
To show our appreciation we are granting all event
supporters a Family level membership (new or renewing) to
the Friends of Rookery Bay. Benefits include:

• Advance registration for SW Florioda Nature Festival
• Reciprocal membership with ANCA, including FREE

I hope you will take the time to enjoy the Reserve, visit the
Environmental Learning Center, and learn more about our
coast.
Fondly,
Craig
Craig Seibert, President
