About Us

Since its founding in 2014, Stella Maris Environmental Research offers guided wildlife encounters, educational programs for toddlers through adults, citizen science opportunities, and conducts coastal research on the eastern coast of Florida’s barrier island with the primary goal of cultivating healthy human attitudes of coastal flora and fauna. Our mission is to protect, conserve and identify solutions for coastal ecosystems through research, monitoring and public education alongside community action to influence local ordinances to protect the natural environment. The purpose of our organization’s work is to be a sentinel for our coastal beaches, marine environment and natural resources. Our current focus is protecting sea turtle nesting beaches, though they are located in a national wildlife refuge of the barrier island’s ecosystem, human influence on the area is visibly seen through loss of wild spaces because of extensive development.
