Beachwalkers, surfers, kayakers, sea-beaners, treasure hunters, surf anglers, paddle boarders, sand carvers and many more learned from the experts about sea turtles, reef conservation, marine art, and the waves and swells on our eastern Florida beaches. The money raised from this event went to Anglers for Conservation and Surfrider Foundation. We thank Pure Ocean Productionsfor the generous support.

Thank you to Terry Locke with TD Bank for sponsoring and everyone who participated in the Slow Down, Chow Down, Chowder Cook-off at this year’s Ocean-Reef-Beach Festival in Satellite Beach. We had 5 local restaurants competing for the People’s Choice Award: Beachside Grille, Long Doggers, Neptunes, Off the Traxx and Sun on the Beach. It was a close one but Off the Traxx took home the honors. All your amazing chowder helped us raise over $1000! Thank you also to the Chow Down Committee: Mike Daniel, Jenn & Marc Grimes, Jacqueline Gilcher, Heather Sears and James Smith.
