WQCS

On this week's episode of In Focus, we sit down with Zoe Stroobosscher and Kim Baumgardner of the Manatee Center, a local group fighting for a better lagoon for manatees and all of its other inhabitants. Together, we discuss the ups and downs of environmental activism, the importance of messaging, and the way the center helps to usher in a healthier lagoon.

Their Manatee Center 5k is a major fundraising opportunity for the group, and is slated for March 21.
