The Port of Palm Beach made waves at Roger Dean Stadium during the All About the Ocean Night, where the Jupiter Hammerheads faced off against the Clearwater Threshers. The June 22nd baseball game was aimed at celebrating marine conservation and education.
Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the Port of Palm Beach's efforts to relocate stony corals ahead of waterside construction projects. Public Information Officer Yaremi Farinas and Director of Planning Carl Baker were present at the event, engaging with the community and distributing Port swag to fans who visited their booth. Several port employees also attended to support the initiative.
In addition to the Port of Palm Beach's presence, the Florida Ports Council joined the event, focusing on educating children about the vital role of the shipping industry in bringing goods to their local grocery stores.
"We are thrilled to have participated in All About the Ocean night at Roger Dean Stadium," said Executive Director Michael Meekins. "It was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness about our coral relocation efforts and connect with the community in a fun and educational setting."
