Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Expand our artificial reef expansion project, increase the level of scholarships awarded, make significant increases to improvements to local parks, increase conservation education to local adult and youth.

Increase Foundation membership and the number of volunteers. Promote the area as an ECO-Tourism destination catering to those who want the environmentally friendly vacation site. Increase marketing of our one-mile out artificial reef site and promotion of youth and Kayak Fishing opportunities.

Our volunteers have a very diverse set of backgrounds ranging from technology and marketing to the marine environment and above and underwater experts.

The increased biodiversity of fish and marine invertebrates and protection of Navarre Beach and surrounding coastal habitats through the creation and maintenance of a near shore marine sanctuary has far exceeded projected expectations. Some species of aquatic life are now common on our near-shore reefs that previously were not common. Oyster growth on our sound-side reef sites are now producing healthy populations where they were previously wiped out. Our scholarship and fund-raising events are now possible every year and have expanded to include additional opportunities. Recent construction of a dune boardwalk protects critical habitat and vegetation. Four new reefing areas have been deployed in the Gulf.

Data
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
