71% of the Earth's surface is ocean, yet we don't know the half of what's out there. The Marine Science Institute's mission is to inspire students to be stewards of the environment by revealing the wonder of the underwater world around us. Members can meet the Animal Ambassadors in the Shoreside Aquarium, play in the Plankton Lab, and learn by doing on the research vessel, the Robert G. Brownlee, as well as receive discounts on parties and events. The price is a drop in the ocean, but the rewards are deep.
