Our purpose is to safeguard the future of aquatic ecosystems
Our Mission
Collaboration
We actively partner with leading coral and seagrass conservation organizations to maximize our impact on marine biodiversity. By working together we can unite on our common goals of conservation and preservation.
Coral Propagation
We take pride in raising our own coral, offering them to aquarium enthusiasts while supporting critical marine research. As part of our commitment to education, we also provide internships to marine biology students from local colleges.
Community Engagement
Join us for exciting paddleboard and canoe cleanups across the breathtaking expanse of Tampa Bay. These events not only remove harmful debris but also foster a sense of environmental stewardship in our community.
Education & Awareness
Dive into the wonders of aquatic life at the Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center, where we showcase several species from our vibrant oceans and rivers. Our educational programs inspire the next generation of ocean advocates
Get Involved
Welcome to Waterworld Guardians—where the health of our waterways and beaches is at the heart of what we do. Every stream, river, lake, ocean, and beach connects us, supplying vital resources and endless opportunities for recreation and reflection. As enthusiasts of paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, and beach-going, we have the privilege and responsibility to steward these precious resources.
Pollution, particularly plastic waste, poses a significant threat to our waterways and beaches, disrupting habitats and endangering wildlife. Each of us has the power to make a difference. By participating in our clean-up events, adopting eco-friendly practices, and spreading awareness, we can help ensure that our waters and beaches remain clean and vibrant.
Join us in our mission to preserve the natural beauty and health of our beaches and waterways
