"MARINE LAB is a very special place for students to work with passionate teachers of marine biology and to see what being a marine scientist is like, indeed, to try on the hat of a marine biologist. I've brought students MANY times and my students ALWAYS love it so much! Many have even said that it was the best educational experience of their young life!"

"Ms. Kim was outstanding - great with the kids and so accommodating with food choices. I was nervous about the food due my restrictions, so I really appreciated the personal touch. Food was very good! Kim has big shoes to fill! I already wrote about Kaden and Erin�but Captain Brian was excellent on our boat - using humor and brought a lightness to our stormy..." Read more

"Our students seemed to retain a lot of information and we enjoyed the land based classes that allowed student participation. All water activities were excellent. However Some classes were very lecture heavy- such as coral reef ecology and sea grass ecology and were a bit harder for our to give their full attention to the whole time."

"My favorite thing about our MarineLab program was incredible hands-on and on-scene learning opportunities! Students had a blast, learned a lot, and were engaged through the whole trip."

"Favorite thing: The balance between instruction/boat time and free time is good. You keep them busy! but they still have enough time to shower and play volleyball. But not enough to get bored and start annoying the chaperones :)"

"Our students loved the rock shake lab! They also enjoyed both trips to snorkel. The only feedback we received from the students is they wished they had more time to snorkel at the mangroves and out at the coral reef. They loved being able to swim with the sea turtles and dolphins, such an awesome experience!"

"On the bus ride home I asked each student what their favorite and least favorite part was, the students lit up. Several said going to the corals was their favorite, even though it was challenging for them they still were grateful to see that."

"The staff is always the most accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they make learning more fun! It's not every day you learn about something and then immediately see it in action, so thank you, MarineLab, for engaging them and teaching them."

"I loved watching our students bridge the gap between their Texas-based research and real-world marine science at MarineLab! Without the ocean in Texas, they�ve studied marine ecosystems from a distance, but experiencing them firsthand in Florida allowed them to make deeper connections, expanding their understanding in a way that furthers their learning beyon..."

"This being our eighth year at MarineLab, it is nice to see familiar faces. I feel that the values of MarineLab are very, very similar to the values of our school and that kindness and character are what counts and those character traits used effectively, deliver the curriculum in a way that children will remember. The adaptability of the instructional staff..." Read more

"I had 3 students who probably would have never experienced their own Florida Bay without your program. Although it's difficult to imagine our backyard, the bay, and not getting to know it. There are kids who don't have the opportunity to "dive" in. You facilitated a whole shift in their perspective of where they live and the ecosystems right at their snor..." Read more
