Please join the Greater Navarre Area Chamber of Commerce in welcoming new member Charlene Mauro and the Navarre Beach Marine Science Station.

Since its official opening in August 2009, the Station has been host to well over 4,000 students and community members for programs concerning the local marine environments.  The programs provide hands-on, feet-wet curriculum that educates and challenges participants from ages 3-33+ on how to be stewards of our marine environment.  New programs have expanded to now include two high schools of duel-enrolled students (through Pensacola State College and Santa Rosa County Schools), field experiences for K-8 school children, Saturday programs for K-8 students, over-night programs for 3-8th graders, public open houses for visitors to Navarre Beach, summer camps, and programs geared for both pre-K students and their family and for students with special needs.  All of the programs are designed to leave participants with a new found understanding and respect for their nearby marine ecosystems, as well a desire to protect and conserve the delicate habitats of Florida.
