Marine Discovery Center
Where education meets adventure on Florida’s East Coast!

At the Marine Discovery Center, we’re all about connecting people to the Indian River Lagoon—the most biodiverse estuary in North America. For over 25 years, we’ve been inspiring environmental stewardship through immersive eco-tours, hands-on marine science education, and conservation programs that protect the creatures and habitats of our unique coastal ecosystem.

From kayaking through mangrove to watching dolphins play from our boat, Discovery, from shoreline restoration to our award-winning summer camps, everything we do makes learning about the lagoon wildly fun—and deeply meaningful. Whether you're a curious kid, a lifelong learner, or simply love nature, MDC is your gateway to Discover Amazing.
