The Federal government and private companies want to further industrialize the Gulf of Mexico through multiple offshore fish farms, threatening the health of Gulf waters and stocks of wild fish. Join us as we learn about fish farms proposed for the Gulf Coast of Florida, their locations and status, and possible negative impacts on water quality and marine life. We'll also learn about work being done to keep industrial fish farms out of Gulf waters, and how citizens can get engaged on this issue.

Pensacola is facing a climate emergency as rising seas, stronger storms and extreme heat stress our community. The Pensacola City Council and mayor were given recommendations from the city’s climate task force in November, 2018, and have made some progress. But much, much more needs to be done to adapt and mitigate for the changing climate.

The body of the world’s climate scientists reports that in order to avoid the most catastrophic impacts, we must reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases about 50% below 2010 levels by 2030. That means phasing out fossil fuels, creating better communities designed for people rather than cars, and ensuring a just transition to renewable energy.
