Congratulations to South Fork High School senior Bianca Bernhard, the only 2026 Go Blue Awards semifinalist from Florida and one of just three students nationwide recognized in the Blue Hatchling Youth category by Loggerhead Marinelife Center!
Bianca founded the Martin Oyster Restoration Initiative (MORI), a nonprofit focused on improving water quality in the St. Lucie Estuary through oyster restoration. At SFHS, she has built a team of more than 60 student and teacher volunteers, with the school's campus also serving as a home base for her oyster restoration efforts.
Through MORI, Bianca and her team have collected about 1,600 pounds of oyster shells for restoration, turning student leadership into hands-on marine conservation.
This is Martin Means Moreโsupporting students as they turn their passions into purpose, pursue their dreams and make a difference in their communities. Congratulations, Bianca!
