Those who are selected for the program will be attending an orientation Friday, June 9 at 9:30 am. Port staff has scheduled six Port Activity Days for the interns to explore the different operations at the Port. The six-week internship program commences Tuesday, June 20th. |

Protecting Florida Manatees
The Port partnered with Friends of Manatee Lagoon to add manatee area caution signs on both the north and south ends of the Port's waterway. Friends of Manatee Lagoon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding environmental education opportunities for all ages in Palm Beach County and beyond through enhanced exhibits and experiential learning opportunities. The nonprofit funded the signs and the Port's facilities team installed the signs near Berth 1 and Berth 17. |
