Review & FAQ:

The Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center covers 57 acres on Hutchinson Island in Stuart, Florida. The center was established in 1964 by the Florida Oceanographic Society, which aims to inspire and educate the local community about coastal environmental issues. They endeavor to encourage stewardship of the local ecosystems by presenting educational programs and other conservation activities. The Coastal Center offers hands-on marine interactions in the Stingray Pool and Invertebrate Touch Tank and is also home to resident turtles, sharks and game fish in their large “lagoon” tank. You can take a walk along the nature trail, feed the game fish and learn about many marine creatures native to Florida.
