Fishy Fashion Comes to the Reserve

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Beach Debris! Fishy Fashions and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve are pleased to announce a special installation in our nature center. Fishy Fashions are marvelously inventive costumes made from flotsam and jetsam and assorted beach debris. This exhibition will begin with a kick-off event, “Fishy Fashion Show,” on Tuesday, September 30th at 5:30PM. This fun and educational art and science collaboration will feature original artistic costumes created by local artist Joan Matey, sculptures and fashion accessories created by Franklin County School art class students, as well as educational materials to help increase awareness of the causes and amount of marine debris affecting our oceans. The exhibit will be viewable in the Apalachicola National Research Reserve’s Nature Center on September 30th and through the end of December 2025.
