For more than 50 years, our renowned experts have conducted solution-oriented research, with the purpose of improving the health and wellbeing of our coastal and ocean ecosystems, and serving our communities in South Florida and beyond. ´óÏó´«Ã½ Harbor Branch is also internationally recognized for its educational excellence and vital outreach programs.

To date, more than 160 generous ocean-lovers have joined our program to help preserve and protect our blue planet for generations to come. We are grateful to our members, whose annual membership fees support our most critical needs and accelerate our ability to respond to opportunities that impact positive change. Your sustained commitment ultimately supports groundbreaking research and outstanding educational and community programs that inspire the next generation of ocean stewards.
