Mote Marine Laboratory

Sarasota, FL
United States

Experience the wonders of the ocean from the comfort of your own classroom or home with Mote Marine Laboratory's Virtual Focus Trips! As a world-class, AZA-accredited nonprofit marine research institution, we bring the excitement of authentic research and hands-on learning to you. From chatting with a shark trainer in our stunning aquarium, to exploring the Florida Keys and observing coral reefs like a real scientist, our virtual lessons are designed to engage and inspire your students. Aligned with state and national education standards, our lessons range from 30 to 60 minutes and provide a unique and thrilling way to dive into STEM topics. Join us on a virtual adventure and unlock the mysteries of the ocean!

HURRICANE HELENE UPDATE
Our main campus and virtual learning studios are in Sarasota, Florida. Both our campuses on City Island and Anna Maria Island had some water intrusion from the storm surge. We've got professionals on-site handling the cleanup, but it's going to take a while. Because of that, Mote Aquarium and the Education and Outreach Center on Anna Maria City Pier will stay closed for now. The good news is all of our animals are safe and have been well cared for throughout the storm and its aftermath. And our virtual learning studios were not impacted. So we are fully virtually operational and ready to connect with you.

Program Details

Format

Mote Marine Laboratory presents a media-rich program on the research conducted at our facilities. It includes behind-the-scenes tours; examples of scientists working in the field and laboratories; conservation messages; and an open questions and answer session with our ocean experts.

Featured topics can include: shark research, animal husbandry, sea turtle nest monitoring, manatee training and research, coral reef research and restoration, behind the scenes at our cephalopod lab.

Objectives

Students will learn about marine science and aquarium careers and what it takes to work in these fascinating fields.
