Feeling the heat this year? So are our oceans. But you can help them by supporting something cool: ocean-saving science at Mote Marine Laboratory.
Your gift by Oct. 25 and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.
Mote is proud to have earned a four-star ranking and a score of 100%—the highest possible scores—from Charity Navigator. This means that Mote is a highly effective nonprofit organization and our supporters can give with confidence.
Intense heat and disease outbreaks are assaulting coral reefs, the rainforests of the sea. Reef sharks are declining worldwide due to overfishing. Seagrasses—food for manatees and shelter for many animals—have taken a catastrophic hit in key Florida habitats. Our oceans are facing grand challenges that are pushing species and ecosystems into extinction.
At Mote Marine Laboratory, cool heads prevail.
We use rigorous marine science and technology to address burning questions and uncover ocean-saving solutions.
Whether Mote scientists are rescuing thousands of endangered corals from this summer’s heat, breeding corals for heat tolerance, traveling the world to turn shark research into conservation, laying the groundwork for seagrass restoration, or championing the need for better water quality, science is always the coolest device in our toolbox.
Gifts to Mote by Oct. 25, 2023, will be matched up to $75,000 thanks to the generous support of:
