The 4th annual SOS Ocean Conservation Day event comes to Fort Lauderdale Beach.
As the owner of Stoked On Salt - aka ‘SOS’ - ocean conservation gear and founder of volunteer group 'SOS Ocean Clean Up' in Fort Lauderdale, Fl, 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.
This year we are excited to announce that we will be joining the Las Olas Oceanside Park Farmers Market on Saturday, August 7, 2021 from 9am to 4pm, located at 3000 East Las Olas Blvd on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Vendors joining us in this year’s SOS Ocean Conservation Day will feature an eclectic array of traditional market fare including organic produce, art, home goods, apothecary items, artisanal foods and more.
"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, 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.
The SOS Mission this year: PROTECT OUR ECOSYSTEM
Within the SOS Ocean Conservation area, 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 - mangroves - fishing regulations - ocean safety and more.

Keep an eye out for the colorful SOS Debris Art Donation Boxes under each non-profits tent. 100% of the donations will go to the group(s) you would like to support to help them continue their efforts here in South Florida.
“My strong passion for our ecosystems and love of the ocean started when I was a young girl and has been a part of my personal goal to find ways to help preserve our environment through my business as well as my community service. During these past few years, I was fortunate to meet others like myself and partner with them to make more of an impact on the community. We are stoked to have Las Olas Oceanside Park as part of our “Warrior Family” and look forward to a perfect day on A1A.” - Lisa Miceli-Capano.
