Sarasota Bay Watch has already placed over 750,000 clams in Sarasota Bay to restore natural populations and clean the water. These are not just any clams, Southern hardshell clams are tough – surviving even during red tide and can live up to 30 years. The clam’s role in the ecosystem is to filter feed. One adult clam can filter and clear up to six gallons of water per day.

Josef Matosevic, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Helios is proud to kick off the fundraising campaign as the inaugural corporate donor. Helios will match up to the first $10,000 donated by other businesses, foundations, or individuals. This is one example of how Helios gives back to the communities in which we live and work. Helios and its employees share a proud history of corporate goodwill, providing support to social and environmental causes that will lead to a more sustainable world. Our Helios employees are also eligible for matching gifts for their support of this campaign and other charitable giving through our recently announced Helios Engage platform.”

If you are interested to help support this effort financially, you can make an online donation directly through Sarasota Bay Watch’s website here.
