title: Hands Across the Sand

description: Filmed and Edited by Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski. Hands Across The Sand event took place across the entire state of Florida on February 13th, 2010. The event was a peaceful protest to raise awareness about pending Florida legislation to drill for oil in Florida's waters. Thousands of individuals young and old, and from all walks of life met at designated beach and coastal waterways. At 1:30 pm statewide participants at each location held hands to form a human chain as a sign of solidarity against the drilling of oil in Florida's waters. Cocoa Beach Surfrider Foundation was the organizer and host of the event that took place @ Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach. Three individuals braved the cold and wind as they participated in a beach clean-up prior to forming the human chain along the shoreline. Thanks to all the individuals who participated in this event, and for all the volunteers involved in making the event a success. Thanks to Channel 13 and Florida Today for covering the event.
