The Adopt a Fish, Adopt a School program is designed to directly integrate students and community members into a scientific research program in an innovative fashion. From a science standpoint, the goal is to track movements of fishes in the nearshore marine environment. The program has been implemented at two sites: Abaco Island, Bahamas and the Loxahatchee River in Florida.

From an educational perspective, this program provides a unique hands-on learning experience for students. Anyone can adopt a fish, and track its movements from this website. So, why not adopt a fish in Abaco or Florida? In fact, adopt a whole school!

You can click on one of the sites in the tool bar above to navigate to the fish tracking maps and for additional information on the projects.
