Protect Our Oceans: HSWRI Emergency Fund Donate Now:

We've responded to 8 #IndianRiverLagoon dolphin strandings in 2025, including "Boston", a young male who survived a boat strike in 2018 💔🐬. Bird flu is confirmed in 2 cases & we continue monitoring dolphin health with @NOAAFisheriesSE. Big thanks to our partners in this effort.

We had a fantastic time attending the recent Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Mixer, where our very own Mark Drawbridge spoke about the impactful work at #HSWRI and the important collaborations with @CCA_California on white seabass and California halibut replenishment.

Join us TONIGHT for #WeCareWednesdays @Senorgrubbys from 6–8 PM! Enjoy an evening of fun, food, and giving back! 20% of all bar and food sales during this time will be donated to support Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute and our mission for thriving oceans and a healthier world.

We proudly partner with Sea & Shoreline and the IRL National Estuary Program to restore and protect seagrass habitats. By hosting Sea & Shoreline’s seagrass nursery on HSWRI-FL property, we are helping to ensure healthy and thriving coastal habitats for generations to come.

Ever wonder how scientists determine the age of a fish? It's all thanks to their otoliths (ear bones) small, calcified structures in the fish's inner ear that grow annually. This otolith image is of a 12-year-old white seabass! #WhiteSeabass #FisheriesResearch @CCA_California

#HSWRI, in collaboration with #NOAA Fisheries, is carefully monitoring dolphin health following recent confirmation of bird flu in Indian River Lagoon dolphins.  #IRLNEP

Estuarine ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots that play an important role in storm protection, water filtration and carbon storage. #HSWRI #SmithsonianMarineStation and #FloridaInstituteofTechnology investigate how hypoxia impacts seagrass meadows and their resilience.

Our brilliant scientists, Dr. Bowles and Dr. Ames, will be presenting their groundbreaking research on whale acoustics, tracking, and the impact of noise on marine life. #graywhale #cabrillonationalmonumentfoundation #whalewatchweekend2025 #oceanconservation

Shout out to our amazing Florida Team! With your help we responded to 69 strandings, conducted 137 vessel/drone surveys, submitted 3 publications and 9 abstracts, while continuing our outreach efforts! #MarineConservation #DolphinRescue #IRLRestoration #onelagoon #BrevardZoo
