New Partnership with Bishop-Parker Foundation Improves Outcomes for Wading Birds
Thank you to Bishop-Parker Foundation for supporting Florida Coastal Islands Sanctuaries’ work protecting colonial waterbird islands in Manatee County!
2025 proved to be a successful nesting season at nine islands in Manatee County, where 15 species raised their young, including Great Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks, and Reddish Egrets. In the non-breeding season, volunteers and staff cleaned more than 1,200 feet of fishing line from colonies. Following the 2024 hurricane season, island management staff installed new signs and removed debris from several islands.
Through strong partnerships and the dedication of volunteers, this work protects birds across Manatee County.

Inspired by the philanthropic legacy of our founders, BishopParker Foundation partners with nonprofit and public organizations to strengthen Manatee County for current and future generations.
