Years of Collaboration with Fort Lauderdale’s Museum of Discovery and Science


Summer 2019: Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) Partnership!

The Extra Catch appears in the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) 2019 end-of-year summary!

The Extra Catch is proud to announce its recent partnership with Fort Lauderdale’s Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS)!

The Extra Catch and MODS have already started working together to ensure that the next generation is empowered to act as “stewards of the environment.” For example, The Extra Catch worked with MODS to eliminate thousands of disposable plastic water bottles from the MODS Summer 2019 camp programs, replacing them with high-quality reusable metal water bottles.

MODS and The Extra Catch are also planning a variety of cleanup activities in the South Florida community.
