News from Sustainable Ecosystems Inc.

May 15, 2008 - a large Floating Island arrived in pieces at Sarasota Bay Club. Trucked from Floating Island International, Shepherd, Montana ~ the island will be assembled on Friday May 30th at the site.
The big launch day is Saturday May 31st - Sustainable Ecosystems will be planting and launching a 22 foot diameter island into the boat basin/retention pond behind the south tower at Sarasota Bay Club. Salt water from Sarasota Bay does flow into this basin, so it is a brackish environment. This is the first brackish installation by SE. This ornamental island will be planted with salt-water tolerant plants, mostly natives. The island will be the largest ever installed in Florida.

Contact: Julia or Peter Seyffert 941.351.2591 Especially if you want to volunteer to help with this project. Sat May 31, 11 am to 4 pm.
