We are a regional chapter of the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA), an organization that brings together those interested in the study and enjoyment of the world of water, both fresh and salt.
We offer workshops and our annual conference in locations throughout Florida and fieldtrips to the diverse marine ecosystems of our state.
