Support Community Marine Education
This community, especially kids, loves marine education!
Kids and adults love the community marine education that we provide 364 days a year. Families make The Pier Aquarium in St. Petersburg, FL a destination for exploration and discovery. Our interactive exhibits, our minds-on, hands-on activities and, of course, our aquarium tanks displaying marine ocean create daily "oohs" and "aahs."
Now it's even more fun as we gear up for the 2010 Summer Marine Adventure camps. Enrollment is now underway. For more information, click on the banner.
You can help us continue our mission and help make 2010, our 21st year, our best ever. Click here or on the anemone below to make your tax-deductible donation!
 As the public face for the 1,200 scientists who work in downtown St. Petersburg, we offer the unique challenge of discovery within our beautiful space with Tampa Bay right outside our door. Our exhibits stimulate the visitor to think...and act. We nurture and cultivate the next generation of stewards and keepers of the marine environment.
This past year:
-
Almost 25,000 people this past year had an up close and personal Touch Tank Experience with our living critters.
-
Almost 1,500 people assisted in our fish feeding.
-
Almost 2,000 children participated in more than 69 Pier Aquarium education progams.
-
2,813 family members learned about sustainable eating and seafood at our First Night St. Petersburg Labyrinth.
- More than 400 people celebrated our 20th anniversary with us Aug. 29, 2009.
Help us continue our mission "to enhance the public's understanding of the value and fragility of the local and global marine environment through research, education and personal experiences."
With your contribution, children (and adults) will continue to learn about sea urchins and sharks, touch a sea star and cherish the ocean in their everyday lives.
