MARINE DISCOVERY CENTER

The Marine Discovery Center
'Our mission is to protect and restore Florida's Coastal Ecosystems through education, research and community stewardship.'

VISION AND GOAL: The long range vision of the Marine Discovery Center is to see a healthyIndian River Lagoon Estuary(IRL) and the ecosystem it supports preserved and enjoyed for its natural beauty, unmatched diversity of species and rich fishery for generations to come. Initiatives and activities designed to achieve this vision include providing education, research, restoration and heightened public awareness of this wondrous, fragile natural resource. In order to preserve the IRL for the enjoyment of future generations, a goal of the Marine Discovery Center is to showcase the biodiversity of this treasured natural resource and to examine, research and encourage human interaction 'ON THE WATER' with the estuary.

EDUCATION

The Marine Discovery Center's 'hands-on, feet-wet' educational programs for children and adults raise awareness about the critical importance of Florida's coastal ecosystems with a special focus on the Indian River Lagoon.

 ECO TOURS

The Marine Discovery Center's ecotours provide a close-up view of the Indian River Lagoon and its natural history while on our pontoon boat and guided kayak tours. Our experienced narrators are certified Florida Master Naturalists.
