Eco-explorers
Coastal discovery adventures for curious young scientists!
Discover the wonders of Florida’s coast through the Eco Explorers Series, a hands-on youth program within Sprouts of the Seas! Young nature enthusiasts will dive into exciting marine science topics through interactive activities, games, crafts, experiments, and outdoor exploration.
Each month, participants will explore a new coastal theme while learning about marine habitats, conservation, and the importance of protecting our beaches and waterways. From gentle manatees and fascinating jellies to sea turtles, shorebirds, plankton, and whales, Eco Explorers encourages children to observe, investigate, and connect with the natural world in meaningful ways.
Designed to inspire curiosity and environmental stewardship, the Eco Explorers Series helps grow the next generation of ocean explorers one adventure at a time.
