Tampa Bay Watch

Tampa Bay Watch is a Tierra Verde, Florida-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of the Tampa Bay estuary. Established in 1993, we work to restore vital habitats like salt marshes and oyster reefs, and educate the community about the importance of this precious ecosystem.

Our team of dedicated staff and thousands of volunteers engage in a wide range of activities, including habitat restoration, marine debris removal, and educational programs for schools and the public. We’re committed to ensuring the long-term health and resilience of Tampa Bay.

Through hands-on projects like oyster reef creation and native plant restoration, we’re actively rebuilding the bay’s natural defenses and supporting a thriving marine environment. We offer volunteer opportunities, educational programs, and membership options to help you get involved and make a difference.
