On August 17, 2006, 1000 Friends of Florida presented the 2006 Community Steward award to Beaches Watch. The award was presented in the form of a framed watercolor painting by Dawn McMillan depicting the beauty of our Northeast Florida beaches with insets from the Jax Beach Height referendum petition drive.
