The Marine Science Center is a relaxing and informative destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and anyone interested in the preservation of endangered marine animals. A refreshing maritime nature trail leads visitors on a meandering path through mangroves and tropical plants, while the wooden boardwalk of the Seabird Rehabilitation Sanctuary offers interpretive exhibits and viewing of non-releasable birds. Enthusiasts can also climb the Bird Observation Tower to catch a glimpse of the colorful inhabitants of the Center.
Also featuring an artificial reef aquarium, the Center allows guests the opportunity to watch as divers feed the local residents or engage in a little aquatic housekeeping. A popular attraction is the Turtle Terrace, where visitors can observe as injured sea turtles receive medical attention that will return them to their natural habitats. The Center offers several programs to appeal to all ages, including kayaking field trips, mangrove exploring adventures, bird walks, and fun educational talks on sea creatures great and small.
