Healthier waters for Estero Bay.

Our ownership and leadership have donated significant funds to the Ecological Research and Action Foundation, Inc. (ERAF), supporting conservation and restoration of Estero Bay, Florida’s first aquatic preserve. Those efforts focus on healthier waters, native fish populations, oyster restoration and the coastal habitats that sustain wildlife.

Nearly two decades of support.

For nearly two decades, our leadership has supported red tide research and education at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), helping establish and sustain an endowed scholarship fund. ERAF’s longstanding partnership with FGCU brings scientific expertise to water-quality research and habitat restoration.

We are building more than a successful company.

We are investing in healthier waters, the next generation of researchers and a future in which Estero Bay’s natural beauty can be enjoyed for generations to come.
