Why Donate

Your donation helps to enhance the Dauphin Island Sea Lab's educational, research and service programs

A young child's trip to the Estuarium, the DISL's Aquarium, sparks the imagination.  Time spent with our Discovery Hall Program's educators grows the desire to study marine science leading many to pursue college degrees.  University Programs create focus on research.

Every reason for supporting and donating is different, but every donation matters.

Support Education
