What's Happening?
There is always something exciting happening at the Wetlands Institute, from special events to weddings and banquets. Our Special Events Calendar lists the important details, so please take a look and join us for an adventure in exploration and discovery.
What We Do and Why We Do It
First Hurricane Katrina, and now the BP Oil blowout in the Gulf, have underlined the importance of the message the Wetlands Institute has been delivering to people of all ages since our founding 40 years ago: Our very lives depend on sustaining healthy wetlands and coastal ecosystems.
Get Your Hands Dirty!
Unlike most museums, we encourage you to take a hands on approach and get involved! Our "touch tank" is a big hit with kids, as they get a chance to safely play with wetlands creatutes and more. Hike our Salt Marsh Trail to the Boardwalk, and enjoy the outdoors up close and personal.
