Our Programs
-
Marine Science Education
Immersive, field-based learning experiences where students explore the marine ecosystems of the Florida Keys. Through snorkeling, data collection, and research, students engage directly with seagrass beds, mangroves, and coral reefs. Led by expert instructors, our programs provide an interactive and exciting way to learn about marine science in the field.
-
Teacher Workshops & Professional Development
We empower educators to integrate marine science into their curriculum through engaging workshops and practical learning experiences. Our professional development programs provide teachers with the tools and resources they need to bring marine ecosystems into the classroom. Teachers participate in field-based activities, explore marine habitats, and gain knowledge that can be directly applied to enhance student learning about the ocean.
-
Family Days
Our Family Days offer families the chance to explore local marine habitats through involved science activities and snorkeling excursions. With guidance from our marine biologist staff, participants will engage in labs on land and enjoy boat trips to various locations in the Keys.
-
Summer Camp
Our summer camps provide a week-long experience filled with marine science labs, snorkeling excursions, and meals. Campers will explore the ocean, learn about marine ecosystems, and gain a greater understanding of the importance of marine conservation.
-
Virtual Programs
Our Virtual Programs bring the wonders of marine science directly to students, even when they can’t be on-site. Through interactive online lessons, participants explore marine ecosystems, learn about ocean conservation, and engage in live discussions with our expert marine biologists.
