Twenty-three new powerful voices for Florida\u2019s clean water-driven economy have emerged out of the second annual Preserving Paradise leadership program \u2014 a partnership between Captains for Clean Water, the SanCap Chamber, Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) and The Everglades Foundation.<\/p>\n

After an official graduation ceremony on Nov. 18, the 2025 Preserving Paradise cohort is more equipped and motivated than ever to advocate for Florida\u2019s economic and ecological future.<\/p>\n

Graduates, their guests and representatives from the organizations attended the dinner and ceremony at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina on Fort Myers Beach to celebrate the end of the program.<\/p>\n

Since August, the group of local business and community leaders have been immersed in discussions and field experiences focused on the connection between water quality and our economies.<\/p>\n

They traveled to Everglades restoration sites, toured the estuary, unpacked the economics and policy behind harmful algal blooms and Everglades restoration, and bonded over the importance of good water quality.<\/p>\n

The Preserving Paradise program will resume next year.<\/p>\n
