Guy Harvey Foundation, the nonprofit organization that promotes marine conservation, funds innovative scientific research and develops cutting-edge educational programs for students, has announced a partnership with Florida Fin Fest, a free ocean conservation, education and music festival presented by Natural Life set for Sept. 13-14 in Jacksonville Beach.
“We are thrilled to partner with Florida Fin Fest with activations in the Education Village,” said Jessica Harvey, CEO of the Guy Harvey Foundation. “Education is so vital, particularly as we foster the next era of marine conservationists. We want to inspire and encourage a better understanding of marine wildlife and how to conserve our precious resources.”
The Guy Harvey Foundation will host a series of free, engaging 30-minute fish printing and mural painting activations in the Education Village at the Seawalk Pavilion. The sessions are set for 5 and 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, and between noon and 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14. Attendees are invited to add their creativity to complete a mural outlined by world-renowned artist, conservationist and scientist Guy Harvey.
Attendees can also purchase Guy Harvey Lokai bracelets featuring his iconic artwork. A portion of sales from the bracelets benefit ocean conservation through the Guy Harvey Foundation. All Lokai bracelets carry a small bead filled with elements from the highest and lowest points on Earth, water from Mount Everest and mud from the Dead Sea, reminding those who wear them to stay humble during life’s peaks and hopeful during its lows.
