OUR PROGRAMS

MARINE SCIENCE CAMPS

Explore the wonders of our natural world through hands-on education and outdoor experiences

At Tampa Bay Watch, we believe education is key to nurturing environmental stewardship. Through our education programs, we bring the marvels of estuarine ecology and habitat restoration to life with dynamic, hands-on learning experiences.

Located at our Auer Marine Education Center in Tierra Verde, FL and Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center on the St. Pete Pier, our programs immerse students in the world of marine science, offering unforgettable field trips and camps that spark a passion for conservation and empower young minds to become guardians of the Tampa Bay estuary.
