Join FWC research for virtual MarineQuest on Facebook: Sat., Oct. 17, 9:00 am

For more than 20 years, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute has hosted an open house and educational event called MarineQuest to give the public an opportunity to engage with researchers who study Florida’s fish and wildlife, and their habitats. This year, the public is invited to watch the agency's virtual MarineQuest program from the safety and comfort of your own home.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning at 9:00 am ET, tune in to the FWRI (Fish and Wildlife Research Institute) page on Facebook.com for exclusive interviews with FWC scientists, behind the scenes footage of fieldwork and visits in the laboratories at the Research Institute. Throughout the day, biologists who study Florida panthers, rescue corals, monitor alligator populations and much more, will share vvideos.

Also, we will be recreating our popular MarineQuest Kids Zone by sharing special activities and story readings from some our favorite science-themed children's stories, read by our scientists.

All sessions include a live presentation from researchers, followed by a Q&A opportunity for students. Questions can also be submitted ahead of the session.
