Estero Bay became Florida’s first Aquatic Preserve in 1966. It was the model for the statewide Aquatic Preserve Program that ensures the intrinsic value of over 2 million acres throughout Florida today, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of this landmark occasion. In celebration, the Estero Bay Buddies are hosting a Dinner, Silent Auction and Clyde Butcher Exhibition of Florida Aquatic Preserve images at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa on December 2nd from 5pm-10pm.
