Mote’s major programs are organized into three divisions:

MARINE SCIENCE EXCELLENCEMote studies include a wide range of scientific disciplines. Research programs include studies of human cancer using marine models and the effects of man-made and natural toxins on humans and the environment. Mote studies the health of wild fisheries, develops sustainable and successful fish restocking techniques and food production technologies and engineers new tools to help us better understand the health of the environment. Mote research programs also focus on understanding the population dynamics of manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and coral reefs and conservation and restoration efforts related to these species and ecosystems. For a full and current listing of Mote Marine Laboratory’s research programs and initiatives, please go to mote.org/research.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH AT MOTEMote is unique as one of the few scientific organizations in the world that combines marine research with public outreach featuring a major aquarium. Advancing public understanding of our oceans is critical to gaining support for protecting vital marine resources. Mote conducts extensive public outreach through education initiatives that reach audiences throughout the United States and internationally and through Mote Aquarium, which hosts more than 350,000 visitors a year in Sarasota, FL.

Educational opportunities are an integral part of Mote’s mission. Our educators draw upon our world-class research to create a greater public understanding of the oceans for all ages. Mote Education Programs strive to increase science and ocean literacy in our audiences and to inspire global marine and environmental stewardship. Mote serves more than 23,000 K–12 students and thousands of adults each year through its many programs, which are detailed online at mote.org/education.

THE AQUARIUMMote Aquarium has played a key role in Mote’s outreach efforts since 1980 by presenting exhibits and programs that reflect ongoing research in the laboratory and that stimulate curiosity. It displays more than 100 marine species. Exhibits range from small displays to large exhibits such as our 135,000 gallon shark habitat. Touch pools allow visitors to safely touch marine animals where trained volunteer docents assist visitors and answer questions. Mote’s Ann and Alfred Goldstein Marine Mammal Research and Rehabilitation Center allows visitors to see resident manatees and sea turtles that cannot be returned to the wild. Behind the scenes, Mote also cares for stranded, sick or injured dolphins, whales and sea turtles in our animal hospitals with the goal of returning these species to the wild.
