Kenny Chesney’s No Shoes Reefs, which helps support healthy oceans, is partnering with Tampa Bay Watch for a five-day Earth Day celebration.
Earth Day takes place this Friday, and to celebrate the holiday, Tampa Bay Watch’s Living Shoreline project will release Reef Balls filled with sea grass off the Florida coast, allowing the balls to sink into the sediment and the sea grass to grow.
That’s part of the organization’s mission to rebuild the shoreline and prevent further erosion. For Kenny, it’s the latest in a string of initiatives he’s partnered with in order to help foster healthy oceans off the coast of his adopted home state.
“Talk about a way to merge my worlds,” Kenny states. “We have been doing various projects around the country. But when Tampa Bay Watch had a week of actual activities designed to not just walk people through the process, but teach them how to not only make Reef Balls but allow people to deploy the Reef Balls filled with sea grass on Earth Day, it was the best kind of synergy possible.”
It’s a big week for Kenny in musical news, too: His 2022 Here and Now Tour begins on Saturday.
