The Guardians of Martin County was pleased to be one of the key sponsors (along with the Knopf Family Foundation) of the youth film festival. All of the video entries focused on our environment. The video entries were from Martin County students from elementary school through high school on marine related topics. Jensen Beach High School environmental studies teacher Crystal Lucas and Benjamin D’Avanzo, owner of “Enviro-Force” in Stuart co-founded the project.
