Working to Preserve Our Treasure Coast

Supporting Manatee Conservation Efforts since 1998 

The Treasure Coast Manatee Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization was established in 1998 by a small group of community leaders.

The Foundation’s mission is to support and enhance environmental awareness, education, conservation, and stewardship of endangered species and natural resources, fulfilling its mission through the Manatee Observation and Education Center.

To further its commitment to environmental awareness and education, the Foundation has:

• Contributed funding for Manatee Center Education programs
• Awarded scholarships to local high school seniors interested in a environmental science degree
• Awarded mini-grants to local teachers for classroom conservation projects
• Planted 1 acre of sea grass in Moore’s Creek

Through volunteer initiatives, citizen involvement, community, business and governmental partnerships, both the Manatee Center and the Foundation are committed to continuing their missions.
