Education, Outreach, Internship Stipends and Scholarships

As a local non-profit, we strive to reach the South Florida community and inspire marine scientists. With supporting these efforts, your donations will go towards outreach event and supply costs as well as help us reach our goal of providing paid internship and scholarship opportunities. Sponsor an intern or provide a scholarship ($1000) to the future scientists of South Florida.
