    To register for this volunteer opportunity, click the event ticket link or visit https://fareharbor.com/.../marinediscove.../items/495867/...
    Marine Discovery Center is monitoring the phytoplankton and zooplankton populations living in the Indian River Lagoon, right off our dock! By building this data set, we will be able to better understand the variety of life invisible to the naked eye and how plankton respond to environmental changes. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
    Volunteers will learn how to properly collect plankton, prepare plankton samples, and catalog phytoplankton and zooplankton species.
    Our Fall 2026 trainings will be held from 3-4 pm on September 15 and November 10.
    Open to participants ages 15+. If you have any questions, please email michaela@marinediscoverycenter.org
