Our mission is to create an organization that will promote Florida environmental awareness and conservation through friendship and association, education, charitable sponsorship and community service. We will do this by providing our membership opportunities to participate and educate in conservation efforts and to entertain the Tampa Bay Area by emulating the 19^th century fictional submarine and environmentally conscious Krewe of the Nautilus in Jules Verne’s classic “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” in parades and other social events.
