The membership of the Marine Resources Council has awarded Charles Lee the Stan Blum Award for Lifetime Achievement in protecting the marine resources of Florida. Stan Blum was a nationally known conservationist and longtime board member of the Marine Resources Council (MRC). The Stan Blum Award is MRC's highest award and the Membership of the MRC has not forgotten the many times Charles Lee has come to bat to protect our local waters, the Indian River Lagoon.  His contribution to the protection of the Wekiva River, North Key Largo, the Disney Wilderness Preserve and his support for Land acquisition programs like Preservation 2000 and Florida Forever were all cited as reasons for this award.

Congratulations Charles you are an inspiration for Conservationists throughout the state!
