Description

Opened in September 2006, the 6,000-square-foot Eco-Discovery Center showcases interactive exhibits depicting the biodiversity of the Florida Keys. The Center focuses on the land and water habitats of the keys, as well as human interaction within these habitats, protecting the marine environment, and the maritime history of the Florida Keys. Be sure to see their newest exhibit, Mote Marine Laboratory's Living Reef, which features a 2,200-gallon tank with live coral and schools of reef fish. The exhibit also shows their coral nursery, where they actually raise coral for transplantation out to the reef.
