Students in JAXPORT-sponsored environmental awareness program release fish into St. Johns River
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 23, 2018) - Students from Mayport Elementary’s Coastal Sciences Academy gathered at Mandarin Park today to celebrate the release of striped bass they raised themselves into the St. Johns River. The fifth-graders raised 450 fish from eggs to maturity in the academy’s JAXPORT-sponsored aquaculture ‘Labitat’.
The outdoor lab gives students hands-on experience learning about the St. Johns River and its wildlife, as well as the river’s effect on the local economy. The lab utilizes a JAXPORT-sponsored power generator that helps keep fish alive in the event of a prolonged power outage.
As an involved corporate citizen, JAXPORT sponsors and participates in numerous Northeast Florida community outreach programs focused on education.
