Fort Myers Beach MERTF Advisory Committee presents the annual MERTF Award!

In December 2024, the Marine Environmental Resource Task Force (MERTF) Advisory Committee for the Town of Fort Myers Beach selected Bill and Will Perry, along with Chris and Ginger Weber, as winners of the MERTF Award! This award is given to individuals who promote good environmental stewardship on Fort Myers Beach.

Both the Perry's and the Weber's own and operate family run businesses and have been on Fort Myers Beach for decades, ensuring our beaches are clean and free of debris. They are also acknowledged by FWC as stewards of the environment.

Will Perry along with Chris and Ginger Weber were identified as "Beach Hero's" by the FWC in recent newsletters for their work identifying nesting birds, alerting FWC personnel, and helping stake nests! Both parties are working toward becoming approved Shorebird Monitors!

In presenting these awards, the MERTF committee acknowledges their dedication to wildlife and ongoing stewardship toward the beaches of our island.

Congratulations Bill and Will Perry and Chris and Ginger Webber!
