In our fifthteenth episode of our 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 next guest is none other than my great friend - famed author, editor and co-host of television’s Florida and Texas Insider Fishing Reports, Dave Ferrell. At this event I got to fish with Dave, hang out and talk about all things IRL conservation and have a great time in the process.

Dave’s voice and passionate dedication for conservation has inspired and motivated so many to adapt to a culture of preserving and restoring our natural resources.

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.
