Here is the ninth episode in this very special Connected By Water series, 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 Star brite ambassador and retired 1st Battalion Army Ranger, Jimmy Armel. Jimmy is no stranger to our show and he is a champion for conservation.Jimmy’s efforts, voice and passionate dedication to preserving and restoring our natural resources have made him a true leader in the fight to protect our fisheries, waterways 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.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.•The Connected By Water Podcast is Fueled by Papa’s Pilar Rum and Protected by Star brite•@connectedbywater @papaspilar @starbrite_com @seawardsystems @partsvu4u @olukai @linkgenie @project_seasafe•#connectedbywater #papaspilar #starbrite #TeamDoGooder #ProjectSeaSafe #olukai #seawardsystems #partsvu #linkgenie #podcast #floridapodcast #IndianRiverLagoon #clams #cleanwater #mangroves #conservation #SaveFlorida #longlivetheeverglades #dfriel #dfrielart
