SOSS2, INC.
SIESTA KEY, FLORIDA

Save Our Siesta Sand 2, Inc., or SOSS2 for short, is a dedicated nonprofit organization based in Sarasota County, Florida. Since its inception on March 14, 2014, this charitable group has focused its efforts primarily at Big Pass, driven by a mission to protect and preserve the unique environmental landscape of Siesta Key. Operating from PO BOX 15133 in Sarasota with contact available by phone at (941) 952-7000, SOSS2 actively addresses potential ecological threats linked to dredging activities in the area. A key aspect of their work involves thorough scrutiny and critique of the models used by the Army Corps of Engineers that suggest minimal impact from such operations. To this end, SOSS2 has teamed up with Dr. Robert Young, a prominent figure adept at analyzing environmental data. Together, they've raised concerns about the unpredictability and possibly underestimated effects of dredging on both navigation and Siesta Key's delicate ecosystem. Their efforts strive to ensure that any potential adverse impacts are recognized and responsibly managed. Guided by an active leadership team featuring Vernon Johnson and Diane Erne as Directors and Jeanne D Ezcurra as Treasurer, SOSS2 remains committed to its environmental cause. The organization is officially listed in the Florida Registry under File Number N14000002595, with a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) of 47-2280407.
