The Guy Harvey Foundation (GHF) and Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Florida have partnered to expand environmental education, strengthen coastal ecosystem awareness, and invest in the next generation of conservation leaders across Florida. GHF has committed a sponsorship to provide a $25,000 youth scholarship in the 2026 CCA Florida STAR Youth Fishing Competition. “This partnership with CCA represents a powerful alignment of shared values, education, conservation and long-term stewardship of our coastal ecosystems,” said Jessica Harvey, CEO of the Guy Harvey Foundation. “By combining our educational expertise with CCA’s restoration-focused mission, we are creating meaningful pathways for teachers, students and young leaders to understand, protect and advocate for Florida’s vital marine habitats.” Through this partnership, the GHF has developed new, co-branded educational content aligned with CCA’s ecosystem restoration initiatives, spotlighting the critical role of oysters, clams, salt marshes, and mangroves in protecting Florida’s coastal waters. CCA will now serve as sponsor of the GHF’s Conservation Education Training (CET) sessions for teachers. “Partnering with the Guy Harvey Foundation allows us to amplify the impact of conservation beyond the water and into the classroom,” CCA Florida Executive Director Brian Gorski said. “By connecting hands-on ecosystem restoration with meaningful education and teacher training, we are investing in the next generation of conservation leaders.”
