The team at the Panga Marine Factory built a boat from one of our new American Panga Kits for Sarasota Bay Watch (SBW); powered by Suzuki Marine. This craft is ideally suited to the environmental, research, and education missions of Sarasota Bay Watch. We are all very happy to be supporting the health and sustainable use of our Florida coastal waters!

Sarasota Baywatch Board of Directors member, Pepper Dietz, takes two student members out on the new Panga Marine work vessel to check the scallop sanctuaries.

The scallop sanctuaries are a part of the program to repopulate Sarasota Bay with scallops. They provide a safe place and contained environment for repopulation efforts.

There are terrific events and programs this month and through the Fall season, so visit sarasotabaywatch.org and at the SBW Facebook page for updates and the latest news from around the bay.

“Sarasota Baywatch extends its gratitude for all the hard work and effort put forth by Panga Marine and Suzuki Marine. We are mission ready!”
