Environmental Stewardship Through Education

Since opening in 1995, The Florida Aquarium has concentrated on our commitment to saving marine wildlife by bringing people together to learn how to protect it through enriching and engaging STEM educational programming delivered to children and families by professionally trained and compassionate educators. With a focus on underserved communities, The Florida Aquarium seeks to build wonder, empathy and action by opening the eyes of all children to the world outside.
