Marine Discovery Center is monitoring the phytoplankton and zooplankton populations living in the Indian River Lagoon, right off our dock! By building this data set, we will be able to better understand the variety of life invisible to the naked eye and how plankton respond to environmental changes. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

Volunteers will learn how to properly collect plankton, prepare plankton samples, and catalog phytoplankton and zooplankton species.

Our 2025-26 trainings will be held from 3-4:30 pm on September 16, November 11, January 13, and March 10.

Open to participants ages 15+. If you have any questions, please email bWljaGFlbGEgfCBtYXJpbmVkaXNjb3ZlcnljZW50ZXIgISBvcmc=
