Ecological Research And Action Foundation Inc

The Ecological Research and Action Foundation restores and protects critical ecosystems in Southwest Florida, concentrating on Estero Bay and the inland habitat corridors used by the endangered Florida panther. Its Estero Bay work addresses nutrient pollution, red tide blooms, and habitat degradation through a native fish hatchery raising snook, redfish, oysters, and clams, plus oyster reef and clam bed seeding, seagrass monitoring, and mangrove shoreline stabilization. The foundation describes its methods as science-first and collaborative, spanning estuarine aquaculture, marine habitat restoration, and wildlife corridor ecology, with water quality research conducted alongside state agencies and universities.
