## Affiliated institutions

### National Coral Reef Institute

The Oceanographic Center is host to the National Coral Reef Institute was established by Congressional mandate in 1998. NCRI's primary objective is the assessment, monitoring, and restoration of coral reefs through basic and applied research and through training and education.[2]

### Guy Harvey Research Institute

The Guy Harvey Research Institute conducts basic and applied scientific research needed for effective conservation, biodiversity maintenance, restoration, and understanding of the world's wild fishes. The GHRI also provides scientific training to US and international students interested in ocean health. The GHRI is named for Jamaican artist Guy Harvey known for his marine themed works.[3]

## Broward County, Florida Sea Turtle Conservation
