FSU Coastal and Marine Lab’s Open House

FSUCML’s Open House highlights the importance of improving human awareness of the tight linkages between healthy ecosystems and healthy societies. Think of our local habitats — seagrass meadows, oyster reefs, saltmarshes, and other wetlands that protect their inhabitants, retain sediments and dampen storm surges, filter the air and water of pollutants, and fix carbon, thereby helping to curtail carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere while capturing nutrients for plant growth.

Our Open House celebrates FSU’s scientists and their graduate students by providing an opportunity to showcase scientific knowledge of the land and sea. Research labs, public agencies, and community organizations will present their work, and great food will be available from local food trucks.

Gather your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues, and take a beautiful drive down to the coast for a FREE day of fun! From tiny tots to the most mature adults and those of us who never quite grew up — there will be something to educate, fascinate, and entertain everyone! Can’t wait to see you again!
