Fort Walton, Niceville-Valparaiso, Destin, Mid-Bay, and Crestview Rotary Club members came together with community volunteers to work on a new living shoreline section within Lincoln Park. The Saturday event led to the completion of 75 feet of linear reef breakwater, which will reduce erosion and provide oyster habitat!

30a Coastal Dunes Wines Donates to Dunes in Schools Program

Through their respective businesses, restaurateur George Barnes (Founder & Managing Partner) and grocer Charlie Modica, Jr. (of Modica Market in Seaside, and Co-Founder) have had a big impact on the way people in the coastal communities along Scenic Highway 30-A eat and drink. With this gift, CBA can continue to bring hands-on field experiences to students in Okaloosa and Walton Counties .

Species Spotlight: Least Tern
Every spring, Least Terns migrate north to breed along the coastal United States. The smallest North American tern, this species creates nests in the sand of dunes, along roadways and bridges, and atop gravel roofs. Because they breed in areas susceptible to disturbance and development, they are listed as Threatened in the State of Florida.
