Beachside Hospitality Group has raised $15,000 to support marine conservation efforts through donations to Mote Marine Laboratory and Clearwater Marine Aquarium following fundraising campaigns at its Manatee and Pinellas counties restaurants.  Across Beachside Hospitality’s three Manatee County restaurants – Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub, Sandbar Seafood + Spirits, and Beach House Waterfront Restaurant – the group donated $1 from every Chubby Mermaid cocktail sold, resulting in a $10,000 contribution to Mote. The donation supports Mote’s manatee rehabilitation and conservation programs and elevates Beachside Hospitality’s partnership to the Bay Partner level.  Beachside Hospitality presented the donation to Mote at its Marine Mammal Center on City Island in Sarasota, where Mote rehabilitates manatees and conducts research and animal care.  For more information on Beachside Hospitality Group, visit bshgrp.com.
