By nurturing students' natural curiosity through hands-on experiences, we help stimulate a real passion for learning in a scientific environment. Students observe, compare, measure, and interact with fish (including sharks and rays), invertebrates, and other forms of bay life, thereby gaining an understanding of the relevance of the skills they learn in school to real-world situations. While a quality learning experience is our primary objective, in many cases the information collected by students becomes a part of MSI's body of research data, which is used by researchers and university students throughout the region. The knowledge that their research is part of something real and important can make the learning experience even more meaningful for the students.
