Sean Patton

Sean is a graduate of New College of Florida, where he studied and received a bachelors in Marine Biology and Ecology. After graduating with honors, he became an Aquatic Biologist working in the swamps, lakes, and other bodies of water found in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. After being disillusioned by the traditional, costly, impermanent, and ineffective systems within the private sector of environmental management, he began researching alternative methods of restoring Florida's landscapes to their most balanced and natural forms. Stocking Savvy was born with this vision in mind. Now, he utilizes naturally-occurring biological systems, native plant species, harvesting, and a coalition of green businesses to restore habitat across our state. He believes every backyard can be a flourishing habitat and every pond a paradise - if you want to know how, you want to know Sean at Stocking Savvy.
