Explore a Seashore
Love the beach? Want to know more? Come and Explore
a Seashore.
The Gulf Coast Research Laboratory’s Marine Education Center is proud to announce the fall schedule of workshops for the public. In these exciting events, individuals and families can explore the rich diversity and dynamic landscape of the Northern Gulf of Mexico coast. These workshops are like educational vacations for people who want a better understanding their coastal habitat.
We design our Explore a Seashore programs to stimulate scientific thinking and appreciation for the marine ecosystem. These programs help participants to see the complex beauty in our marine resources and understand the key role they play in our economy and our lifestyles. We hope you will learn new ways to live in harmony with local habitats and natural processes.
