We and our partners at University of Florida's Scientist in Every Florida School initiative cannot wait to share another exciting semester of live marine science webinars with you!
Our spring series gets underway February 8th at 1 PM ET with Nicole Besemer of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who will discuss climate monitoring and the 2023 coral bleaching event in the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas. On March 7th, Dr. Savanna Barry of Florida Sea Grant and UF IFAS Extension will share Florida's Horseshoe Crab Watch, and Dr. Robert Ellis of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute will talk about goliath groupers on April 4th. We hope you will join our livestream events, but do not fret if you are unavailable... Recordings of past Ocean Expert Exchanges and complementary educational resources, are available. Access details and registration information via our OEE webpage.

SPLASH BACK TO FALL 2023
What an epic fall of at-sea and onshore educational programming! We headed into schools and out on the water with six awesome sets of Palm Beach County students and teachers for Coastal Ocean Explorers: Sharks. Thank you to the Great Charity Challenge and Society for Science STEM Action Grant program for making these once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunities possible!
Back on shore, we shared marine science with diverse audiences, including engaging Palm Beach Day Academy, School District of Palm Beach County teachers at the Sustainability Symposium and others in our Lagoon Drift citizen science project. We even had the chance to connect with diverse audiences across our region at LagoonFest in West Palm Beach and the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) Science Festival!
