Science and Environment Council and Florida Beverage Association Partner to Promote a Sustainable Water Future in Southwest Florida

SARASOTA, FL – Jan. 25, 2016: The Science and Environment Council, in partnership with the Florida Beverage Association, will add two new tour stops to the community’s Mobile Phone Watershed Audio Tour and extend the popular program through 2017. The Audio Tour (www.watershedtour.org) celebrates highlights of our watersheds while providing interesting facts and suggestions for easy ways to help protect our waters.

The tour includes 30 stops at spectacular natural places and environmental attractions and is accessible by dialing (941) 926-6813.  While the tour can be accessed from anywhere, visiting the featured locations across Sarasota and Manatee Counties provides listeners an up-close and personal experience.  The audio tour encourages people to get outside and explore - to exercise their brains and their bodies – and celebrate Florida waters!
