Fish swim in the Bay. Turtles lumber across the dunes to lay their eggs. Dolphins jump and cavort as they feed in the gulf. Manatees graze on underwater grasses in the rivers. The tie that binds all these together is the watershed in Alabama and the scientists that study them and teach at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
Marine science research and education is made possible by you. Your gift supports the marine programs that teach children about the environment. You are safeguarding the rivers, bays and oceans that we all love and cherish. Through caring for the waters around us you are also protecting the planet.
