14 minutes

In this second episode of a very special Connected By Water series, we’re on location at the 2025 4th Annual Star brite Project SeaSafe Clean Water Collective event, held at the Old Fish House Bar & Grill in Grant-Valkaria, Florida. Our guest is one of Star brite’s leading ambassadors, Blair Wiggins, who is among those on the forefront of this massive conservation effort.

Particularly, he shares details with us about his IRL Clam Restoration Project which is on its way to completing its astonishing mission

of dropping a billion clams in the Indian River. Blair’s leadership and

unwavering dedication to preserving and restoring Florida's natural resources have made him a key figure in the fight to protect our fisheries and coastal ecosystems.

At this year’s event, the conservation efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. With the help of the local volunteer community and the

Project SeaSafe crew, hundreds of new mangrove bombs were made and planted to help rebuild vital coastal habitats, and in a groundbreaking move, four million clams were released into the Indian River via drone, a revolutionary step in ecological restoration.

Throughout the episode, Blair shares his passion behind these projects and offers insights into the hard work and collaborations that go into protecting Florida’s waterways. The event also drew celebrities and influencers from the Florida fishing community; all coming together to celebrate and support conservation.

Join us for a look at the incredible work being done, and the people who are making it happen, in this inspiring episode of the Connected By Water Podcast. It’s a celebration of community, conservation, and a collective effort to make a lasting impact on Florida’s waters and wildlife.
