The Nature Coast Coalition strives to unite communities and organizations along Florida's Nature Coast to protect these last, best places in our state. Help us share information and resources that help us work together to conserve our natural heritage.
Starting August 27, Eric Zamora’s conservation photography exhibit on the story of Florida’s Nature Coast will be featured at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee.
Life on the Edge tells the story of the vast region from St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge near Tallahassee, to northern Pasco County, covering 240 miles of Florida’s Nature Coast. The exhibit reveals a landscape where a sparse human population lives and works within the greater context of the natural world. Zamora’s focus is the importance of understanding the potential impacts of development and industry on these remaining natural areas, and using our wisdom to preserve the area.
Says Zamora, “My conservation photography project Life on the Edge (LOTE) uses the visual power of photography, and the collective energy of individual and institutional partnerships, to share the story of Florida’s Nature Coast with the goal of helping to mold a sustainable future for all.”
Friday, August 27, 2010, the University will host a reception opening the exhibit from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear Zamora’s observations regarding the past, present and future of the Nature Coast.
