Our Commitment to Manatee Awareness

With specific regard to endangered species, it should be noted that the FDEP also recognizes the companies efforts in the area of manatee awareness. Created out of the companies own environmental concerns in 1989, a very unique and one of a kind Manatee Awareness Program, "Extinction is Forever", was formed whereby volunteers from the company, i.e. the management team, teaches manatee awareness to students in the public school system in anticipation of their future as boaters in the state of Florida. Richard Morgan, President and C.O.O. of Old Port Cove Holdings, Inc. stated "We felt that by educating students today, they would become more careful and aware of the environment, not only as they reached maturity, but even today as passengers aboard a family or friends vessel."
