We had an amazing experience here! From the minute we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed. We loved engaging with the shark and turtle tracker in the bungalow. Then we went up into the carpenter home and loved seeing the interactive activities for kids and the historical preservation of the home on display. We were assisted by an employee (the nicest person- taller, beard, cannot remember his name) but he showed us old photos of the families and shared his knowledge of the history of the home. I asked him if he had worked at the Marine Environmental Education center for a long time (he was so welcoming, knowledgeable and engaging) and to my shock, he said he had only been on with them 1 week! Wonderful human and a great hire- made us feel so comfortable asking questions and getting to appreciate the space and learning.
I imagine Jude would be so happy to know her home has a new life and serves to educate the community and foster deeper care for the environment. Thank you!!

Small education centre about marine life (focusing on turtles) and human impact on the local Ocean ecosystem. Lots to see in such a compact space!
I liked seeing the specimen jars of different wildlife, the real turtle skulls, and reading about the journeys of and seeing Coral and Captain :)

Really cute facility. The faculty was knowledgeable and friendly. No problem answering all my questions. It was fun to see Coral and Captain get their daily greens.
