Your gift to Mote ensures oceans thrive
The oceans support life as we know it, providing the food we eat, the recreation we enjoy, the very air we breathe. Oceans cover 71% of the Earth, and the challenges they face are equally vast.
Mote Marine Laboratory—an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution—is advancing research-based solutions to ensure our oceans can heal and thrive. Help us put leading-edge marine science and ocean conservation into action. Become a Mote Change Maker by making a gift today.
