Panhandle Manatee Volunteer Training

Join PPBEP Staff at the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Office in the conference room on Friday, May 3rd, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM for training to become a Panhandle Manatee volunteer and assist with outreach and community events.

We are looking for dedicated and reliable volunteers that want to learn more about manatees in our area and can help staff at festivals, events, and community outreach throughout our watersheds. The training will consist of an overview of general program information including the program mission, goals, upcoming projects, and continuous outreach efforts. We'll also dive into manatees and you'll learn about their habitats, life history, how to report a manatee sighting, safe boating practices, and seagrass!

Volunteers should be comfortable talking to and engaging with people of all ages and backgrounds, especially boaters and anglers.

Panhandle Manatee volunteers must be 18 years or older.
