UPCOMING PROGRAM
Is There a Future for the Wild-Caught Shrimp Industry and Netmakers? with Billy Burbank III
Friday, April 18th at 6pm
For decades, shrimp boats lined Fernandina’s waterways, symbols of a once-thriving international industry. However, over the years, local shrimping has seen a steady decline.
Join us for 3rd on 3rd as we explore the challenges and resilience of traditional shrimping and net-making along Florida’s coast. The talk will be led by Billy Burbank III, a lifelong net-maker whose family has been a cornerstone of the industry for over a century.
Attendance is free for members and a suggested donation of $5 for nonmembers. Seating is limited on a first come, first served basis. This program is wheelchair accessible.

This program will stream on our Twitch Channel and will be available on YouTube afterwards.
