Additional Information
As the owner of Stoked On Salt - aka ‘SOS’- ocean conservation gear and founder of our volunteer group 'SOS Ocean Clean Up' in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I wanted to share with you a fun way to contribute to the preservation of our beautiful ocean, beaches and living coral reefs that identify the special place where we live.
"Many people are not aware of the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean and I wanted to do something that was inspiring for a younger generation because they’re the ones in line to inherit all these issues.” - founder of SOS Ocean Conservation Day, Lisa Miceli-Capano. Now in its 4th year, the SOS Ocean Conservation Day is a free, one day, outdoor event not only fun, but an educational program for the entire family that will help bring awareness to our ocean and the efforts to preserve and protect our living coral reef ecosystems.
This year we are excited to announce that the 4th annual SOS Ocean Conservation Day event will be a PLASTIC FREE event!! No single-use plastic, styrofoam, plastic straws, plastic bags or plastic utensils will be provided within the event.
The 4th annual event will be returning to the Jaco Pastorius Park located in the City of Oakland Park, FL. Expected attendance of 2,000+. Event details to be announced.
The SOS Mission this year: BE E.C. -- Be Environmentally Conscious™
Within the SOS Ocean Conservation Village area, over 40 ocean/marine conservation groups will engage in outreach with the general public about issues that could be addressed on a local level - which we so desperately need: corals - manatees - lionfish - beach/ocean debris - sharks - sea turtles - manta rays - whales - lobstering - water quality - wildlife rescue - fishing regulations - ocean safety and more.
