Here at the Education Centre, we provide engaging, interactive presentations with the ultimate goal of promoting the conservation of our marine environment. As with all conservation, rigorous scientfic research is required to broaden our knowledge to make the most well informed management decisions possible. For that reason, the Tangalooma Marine Education and Research Foundation continues to provide vital financial and in-kind support for many researchers seeking to find out more about the marine life and natural systems of Moreton Island, Moreton Bay and surrounds.
