Become a Friend of the FSUCML

“Our mission is to solve ecological problems through innovative, interdisciplinary research in coastal and marine ecosystems of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and provide scientific information as the basis for sound policy decisions.

Be part of the excitement by making a gift to the FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory and become a Friend of the Lab. Private support provides us with tremendous flexibility to respond rapidly to exciting new opportunities and to plan for long-term development. We are now embarking on a capital campaign to build new housing, an education center, new research facilities, and a floating dock system in our boat basin. Your financial support makes it possible for us to provide invaluable support for these initiatives and for research, equipment, and general program support. The Coastal and Marine Laboratory depends on generous supporters like you to help create workable solutions locally and globally.

Join a group of dedicated people who support our mission. You can help us by making a private tax- deductible gift. Gifts of any amount are important, whether it's for our general operations or to an endowment dedicated to providing scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students for research.

So please consider a gift at any level that suits you best.
