I’m proud to announce that once again, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute welcomes the public to MarineQuest, an annual open house celebrating Florida’s diverse wildlife, ecosystems and cutting-edge research that Institute scientists are leading all around the state. Now in its 29th year, MarineQuest offers a unique opportunity for thousands of visitors to explore Florida’s fish and wildlife.
From touch tanks featuring live marine critters to interactive activities for kids, MarineQuest promises a day filled with excitement and education. Attendees can engage with top researchers from Florida and delve into the world of sharks, rays, manatees, birds, coral, red tide and more. Live demonstrations and educational exhibits will showcase FWRI’s commitment to protecting, conserving, and managing Florida’s invaluable fish and wildlife resources.
MarineQuest will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10 and will be hosted at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in downtown St. Petersburg at 100 8th Avenue SE. MarineQuest is held in conjunction with the St. Petersburg Science Festival.
MarineQuest is our chance to share our research with you – our passion, focus, and dedication to our mission to conduct collaborative research and monitoring to provide timely information and guidance to protect, conserve, and manage Florida’s fish and wildlife resources for future generations.
