About Us
Florida Oceanographic Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1964 with the mission to inspire environmental stewardship of Florida’s coastal ecosystems through education, research and advocacy.
Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center is a 57-acre marine life nature center located on Hutchinson Island in Stuart, FL situated between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean.
Campers will immerse themselves in hands-on activities, games, and crafts as we explore the various animals that live on our nature trail and local beaches!
Our Nighttime Sea Turtle Walks give guests the opportunity to experience one of mother nature's most fascinating occurrences — the nesting behavior of a loggerhead sea turtle.
Many remember the “Lost Summers” of 2013, 2016 and 2018, when serious algal blooms caused severe economic repercussions.
Sea turtle safety and light pollution are reasons some South Hutchinson Island residents want a section of A1A darker than state transportation officials are proposing.
