Hosted by Sanibel Solutions, the Charitable Foundation of the Islands, and the Sanibel & Captiva Islands Chamber of Commerce, the group is contributing to the creation of the Sanibel Recovery Dashboard—a tool designed to track progress and guide decision-making.

cfiThrough site visits, conversations with island leaders, and collaboration with local businesses, the FGCU student’s visit showcased how academic partnerships and innovation can support resilience and shape the future of long-term recovery.
