Chris Korbelak, 561-966-6649, ckorbelak@pbcgov.org Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) selected the Palm Beach
County Parks and Recreation Department as a finalist of the Blue Business of the
Year Award. The award recognizes outstanding contributions towards promoting and
encouraging conservation, restoration or preservation of marine life and marine
ecosystems through business practices, products or technology.
Parks and
Recreation was nominated for its long-standing, multi-faceted approach to
promoting and protecting Palm Beach County’s beautiful environmental spaces and
their immediate support of LMC's new balloon ban. In addition, the department
houses many unique recreational and cultural facilities like Loggerhead
Marinelife Center in Loggerhead Park, Phil Foster Park (one of the county's most
accessible and biodiverse scuba and snorkeling trails), and the Juno Beach Pier.
It also hosts multiple events which are tailored to help promote protection and
education for the environment. The mission of the Palm
Beach County Parks and Recreation Department is to make the quality of life for
Palm Beach County residents and visitors better by providing diverse, safe and
affordable recreation services, welcoming parks, and enriching social and
cultural experiences. This is achieved by promoting wellness, fostering
environmental stewardship, contributing economic value, and by improving the
community every day for this and future generations. | | Attachments |
