Support Our Mission

Help Us Protect South Florida's Marine Life

The Nova Southeastern University Marine Environmental Education Center (MEEC) is dedicated to inspiring appreciation and promoting conservation of the incredible coastal habitats and marine life of South Florida. As a continuously growing center, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you to fuel our educational initiatives and expand our impact.

  • Provide engaging and interactive learning experiences for visitors of all ages.
  • Care for our resident sea turtle ambassadors, Captain and Cane, who play a vital role in education.
  • Develop and deliver impactful programs on sea turtle conservation, coastal ecology, and ocean health.
  • Maintain and enhance our exhibits and facilities, creating a welcoming and educational environment.
  • Reach a wider audience through outreach programs and community engagement.
