ST. AUGUSTINE, FL Marineland of Florida
Marineland was the world’s first oceanarium; conceived as a project to provide a window to the ocean.

Marineland's Dolphin Conservation Center opened in 2006 to educate and entertain guests through interactive dolphin encounters. The dolphins reside in a 1.3 million gallon habitat. It is located across the road from The Whitney Lab.

CLEARWATER, FL After a tour of Clearwater Marine aquarium we will cover the basics of animal husbandry including training animal care, and animal handling. Also covered include the basics of animal training and environmental enrichment programs. Round table discussions will include sea turtle case studies, handling and clinical treatments. In 1972, a group of dedicated volunteers decided it was time to establish a permanent marine biology learning center in our area. The Sea-Orama, a mounted fish exhibit at Clearwater Marina, had been in storage for several years. Hoping for a larger exhibit, perhaps with live animals to observe, we were incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization under the name Clearwater Marine Science Center (CMSC). In 1978, the city of Clearwater agreed to donate our current facility, an abandoned water treatment plant, to CMSC. The first exhibit room, featuring fish from the original Sea-Orama, was opened to the public in 1981. Over the next few years, thanks to individual and corporate donations and immense volunteer efforts, CMSC continued to grow. In the 1990's, as renovations continued to provide more public area and education programs, our name was changed to Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) to reflect the increasing level of community interaction. Today, Clearwater Marine Aquarium is an internationally respected center for animal care, public education and marine research.
An optional kayaking ecotour and city tour will be available taking place on Saturday, June 8th. The $45 dollar cost will include a 2.5 hour guided kayak tour with Ripple Effects EcoTour and transportation to the historical city of St. Augustine. Kayaking EcoTour by Ripple Effect Ripple Effect guides offer over 15 years of paddling experience way off the beaten path. This 2.5 hour guided kayaking trip will give you unique access to the southern boundary of the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve. This is the perfect central location to explore the Jordon and Mellon Island Sites that are part of Faver-Dykes State Park, The Princess Place Preserve, and the Pellicer Creek Aquatic Preserve. This biologically rich area has been described as "the cornerstone behind the nomination of the Matanzas River as the 25th National Estuarine Research Reserve of the United States". This is where the Matanzas Inlet, one of the only natural inlets on the east coast of Florida, collides with one of the most pristine, undeveloped streams in Florida, The Pellicer Creek. This is a comprehensive ecological and cultural kayak tour in this beautiful coastal system. About the Kayak Tour St. Augustine Tour This was a city founded by -- and fought over by -- European explorers who couldn't claim this coast fast enough for their country. The city faced fire, pirates, skirmishes and storms but the hardy residents never gave up. Landmarks such as Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and the Mission of Nombre de Dios stand as a testament to the resilience of the inhabitants. The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, for example, has survived 300 years of enemy shelling and storms. The fortress that once belonged to the Spanish empire was built of coquina, a virtually indestructible limestone comprised of broken seashells and corals. Take note of the elaborate double drawbridge entrance suspended above what is now a dry moat spanning an impressive 40 feet. Another well-preserved Spanish stronghold is Fort Matanzas. Here soldiers constructed a fort in 1740-1742 to ward off British encroachments on St. Augustine. Fort Matanzas National Monument, created in 1924, consists of the Spanish fort along with acres of salt marsh and barrier islands along the Matanzas River. Flagler College and Casa Monica Hotel demonstrate the St. Augustine's more flamboyant side.
