Harbor Branch is internationally known for its ship and submersible operations and research in marine science, biomedical
marine research, aquaculture, and ocean engineering.
Harbor Branch borders Indian River Lagoon, the estuary with the highest diversity in the United States. The lagoon's
proximity facilitates activities such as seining, sieving, snorkeling, and boat trips, that provide students exposure
to a variety of local and coastal habitats, including seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes, intertidal mudflats,
sandy shores, beach communities, and nearshore reefs. Other habitats, including the Florida Everglades and the
Florida Keys reef tract, are less than half a day's drive.
Our teaching facility, the Johnson Education Center, is equipped with classrooms, teaching labs, a computer lab with
full Internet access, and a 350-seat auditorium with sophisticated audio-visual capabilities.
