MatBio: a coastal ecosystem in NE Florida

Welcome to MatBio, an initiative of the Whitney Laboratory of Marine Bioscience in St. Augustine, Florida!

The Matanzas Basin, stretching from St. Augustine to Palm Coast, is home to over 2000 plant and animal species. It's our goal to build a dynamic inventory of the region, so we can begin to monitor the community and its responses to stressors such as global climate change, sea level rise, and environmental disasters.

We're asking everyone to get involved in the work, the fun, and the responsibility: explore our unique ecosystem, and report back to let us know what you saw! less ↑
