Welcome to Florida Oceanographic Society. With more than 8,500 miles of tidal shorelines, 2.1 million acres of estuaries and 30% of the state's land cover consisting of wetlands, Florida's relationship to water is vital to the prosperity of our state. Since 1964, Florida Oceanographic Society has worked to protect our coastal ecosystems through education and research. I invite you to get involved today – visit the Coastal Center, become a Member, and Volunteer. Together let's inspire environmental stewardship for generations to come.
