About the Mote-Boca Grande Partnership
Mote Marine Laboratory, based in Sarasota, Fla., recently opened a new satellite office in Boca Grande to help engage the community and region in tarpon and other marine research undertaken by Mote in Charlotte Harbor - the Lab's original home - and Southwest Florida in general. The office is also designed to highlight new research directions designed to support conservation of area fisheries and habitat. The office was opened under the auspices of a community-wide grassroots committee to increase knowledge of - and support for - the region's important marine environment and the conservation of it.
