Who is Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute?
The best way to conserve natural systems is to understand them and the human interactions that affect them. Since 1963, HSWRI has pioneered scientific discoveries about oceanic animals and their ecosystems; these discoveries help identify solutions to the challenges of both conservation and sustainable human development, which is HSWRI’s mission: “To return to the sea some measure of the benefits derived from it.” HSWRI was founded in California and has operational headquarters in San Diego, California. The east coast offices opened in Orlando more than 10 years ago and HSWRI has conducted scientific research in Florida from these offices. HSWRI will expand its scientific research and education programs in Florida by building a world-class research center in Brevard County, Florida, on land donated by the Richard King Mellon Foundation. The research center is uniquely located next to the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge with access to both to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River
