UWI's Port Royal Marine Laboratory & Biodiversity Centre

Another summer is coming to a close, and Marine Mania 2026 is now behind us! Three weeks of new experiences and friendships - whether it’s campers who joined us for the very first time, or repeat campers who have been with us from their first Seasquirts camp many moons ago. A new generation of little environmentalists is rising up, and we’re proud to encourage and help foster their love for the natural world. Until next time… adventure awaits!

Registration is still open for Mariners camp, from July 27-31! Do you know a young person between 14-17 who has interest in the marine and coastal environment? Sign them up today for the camp of a lifetime! Email us at [email protected] or call 876-591-0295 for registration information. DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION is this Tuesday, July 21.

We took a moment to admire our nursery during our routine maintenance check - and you have to agree that our staghorn corals are looking mighty fine! Our scientific team is currently fine-tuning our plan to protect these corals from bleaching as the sea warms up during the height of summer. They’re certainly large enough to fragment but it’s best to wait for cooler temperatures before we take on that task. Exciting times ahead!

Just like that - our first camp of three has reached its cap. Registration for Shore Trekees is now closed!

And our final school group for the academic year is… St. Peter Claver Primary School! Tours have officially slowed down, so now it’s full speed ahead until Marine Mania.

Hear ye, hear ye! It’s Marine Mania time again! Registration is now open for all our summer camps. Send us an email at [email protected] for more information on registration!
