Innovative, Field-Based Educational Experience
Programs at the MEC include tours on Davis Bayou aboard the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory's Educational Vessel, the Miss Peetsy B. Participants explore the estuarine environment on a unique excursion into rich marsh habitat.
The center promotes understanding of coastal and marine science within the public sector and provides the tools coastal residents can use to become more effective stewards and advocates for the Gulf of Mexico through innovative, field-based educational experiences. A visit to the Marine Education Center takes visitors through different coastal habitats including the sensitive transition from forested bayhead to tidal marsh as seen from the pedestrian suspension bridge on campus.
