SRQ MAGAZINE | DONOR'S GUIDE TO GIVING: Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium

MOTE MARINE LABORATORY & AQUARIUM is a world class nonprofit marine research institution committed to the belief that the conservation and sustainable use of our oceans begins with research and education. What started as a tiny, one-room laboratory has grown over the years to include more than 20 diverse marine research programs and a public Aquarium that serves as a gateway to our oceans. Thanks to generous philanthropy, Mote has been at the forefront of groundbreaking research and discoveries that have advanced marine science as we know it. We’ve seen sea turtle nesting numbers grow under our watchful eye, released tens of thousands of baby snook into local waterways, tracked great white sharks from Nova Scotia to Florida, and so much more. As we continue to expand our capabilities for excellent marine research and education, we’re creating a brand new, state of the art International Coral Gene Bank to save our treasured coral from extinction, and a new Mote Science Education Aquarium that will inspire current and future generations toprotect and conserve our oceans. The future of our oceans' health sure is looking bright!
