By The Sea Lecture Series

Join us after hours for a lecture series featuring local scientists, conservationists, and photographers with brews!

Unwrap The Waves

Loggerhead Marinelife Center's Unwrap the Wave Initiative allows for students and community members to get into the "spirit" of conservation by collecting their candy wrappers from Halloween and recycling them.

One Ocean Hall

As visitors enter the One Ocean Hall, they are met with the same refreshing feeling of walking into the ocean and the same sense of excitement as diving underwater; sounds of waves lapping and fish crunching transport guests to some of our most iconic and critical ecosystems here in South Florida, from seagrass beds to Florida's Coral Reef.

Native species can be spotted throughout the One Ocean Hall, including in the Digital Reef experience, where children and families can learn about the weird and wondrous adaptations displayed on the reef as they color their own fish and send them to the reef to swim!

Explore our new immersive Rescue to Release virtual reality experience that transports visitors from a sea turtle rescue with our animal care team to its successful release back into its ocean home, curated by our experienced staff and volunteer educators.

Digital Reef

Loggerhead Marinelife Center's Digital Reef is an immersive, virtual ecosystem where visitors can explore our most prominent native Atlantic species, learn about their role in ocean ecosystems and play using color, texture and adaptations to imagine their own sea creature! These animals don’t just exist in this digital world, they live and thrive in it. A major focus of this experience is the unique animal behaviors and interactions which are driven by custom, nature-inspired algorithms.

Visitors are encouraged to create an array of three dimensional sea creatures through a touch screen coloring application, providing a creative and intuitive experience. The finished aquatic animal is sent from the coloring application to the Digital Reef where it joins other unique animals created by guests! With unique visitor-generated content combined with their custom behavioral animation, no two experiences will be the same at the Digital Reef.
