Yeah, so I work here. And thus it is awesome. No really, it’s a gem! It’s one of the historic places you need to see in St. Augustine. Right across from Marineland Dolphinarium, it’s a place for community education, summer internships, public lectures on research, environmentalism and marine systems. Go here if you are thinking of pursuing an career in science or care about the local and global environment.
