#14 - Dom Marino & Matt DeMasi of The Oyster Boys

It began with the awareness of a problem, numerous manatees dying for some unknown reason.  That research led Dominic Marino, his brother Vince, and Matt DeMasi to realize the problem was much deeper than originally thought.  The waterways that we have come to enjoy and love in SW Florida were suffering from an issue that could, in-part, be dealt with by incorporating one of nature’s natural water filtrations systems…oysters.We learned a lot from our discussion with The Oyster Boys, and how their efforts are helping clean up the estuaries and waterways the lead out into the Gulf.  We also touch on the importance of opening up Midnight Pass, and some of the continued efforts to making that a reality.  We hope you’ll enjoy this episode with The Oyster Boys.You can follow The Oyster Boys, and what they are doing in the community, by going to their website:https://www.oysterboys.orgYou can also follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/oyster.boysThe Sarasota SpeaX Podcast is hosted by: Bradley Hannon, Insurance Broker and Owner of Hannon Healthcare Solutionshttps://www.bradhannon.com Felipe Colón, Partner/Investment Advisor for Sanderling Partnershttps://www.sanderlingpartners.com/ Trey Martell, Owner of Strong Roofing SRQhttps://www.strongroofingsrq.com You can follow the Sarasota SpeaX team on Instagram Host Brad Hannon - https://www.Instagram.com/b_hannonHost Trey Martell - https://www.Instagram.com/treypod3Host Felipe Colon - https://www.Instagram.com/fjc424Producer Eric (E-Dub) Hollister - https://www.Instagram.com/elhollisterDigital Media & Distribution, Morgan Steffes - https://www.Instagram.com/mcsteffes ************************ Sarasota SpeaX is a hyper-local podcast that will feature the incredible entrepreneurs, leaders and personalities that make Sarasota, and the greater surrounding area, tick.
