JUNO BEACH, Fla. — The 16th annual Go Blue Awards are quickly approaching on Oct. 24 as the community prepares to celebrate local heroes in ocean conservation.
At a Let's Hear It meet-up at Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, WPTV Anchor Ashley Glass discussed the non-profit's upcoming Go Blue Awards with Audrey Padgett.
"When you see kids as young as six and seven who've started their own beach organizations and written a children's book about Loggerhead sea turtles and spearhead coral restoration, it's impressive," Padgett said. "These are the next generation of ocean stewards. If we see amazing youth doing good for our oceans and for our marine conservation, it really shows that anyone can do this."
