Event raises funds for oyster bed restoration
In partnership with the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF), On Island held “The Oyster Party: Come Sip & Slurp with us to Rebuild the Oyster Beds” on Feb. 28 at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille on Sanibel. The proceeds from the event will support the SCCF’s oyster restoration efforts in the San Carlos Bay and Tarpon Bay. Attendees learned about the importance of oyster reefs, enjoyed complimentary oysters and participated in a silent auction with prizes and a 50-50 raffle. On Island thanked sponsors Congress Jewelers, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, MacIntosh Books + Paper, Sanibel Carts and ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa for their contributions.
