The oceans are our passion. Marine science is our mission. As an independent, nonprofit institution with 38 programs and centers in our global research enterprise, Mote champions conservation and the sustainable use of the oceans that sustain us all.
July 6, 2025, marks our final day of general-admission ticket sales at Mote Aquarium on City Island, Sarasota, allowing our Aquarium team to focus fully on preparing for the opening of Mote Science Education Aquarium (Mote SEA) at Nathan Benderson Park. Mote SEA will allow us to share science education with far more people of all ages.
People of all ages can dive into the world of marine science with Mote's education programs. Join us in Sarasota or the Florida Keys or tune in for a virtual program from anywhere in the world!
