The Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) is a scientific organization that studies Florida's marine ecosystems, including fish, coral reefs, sharks, and coastal habitats. Its goal is to understand how these environments thrive and how human activities impact them. By conducting research and providing data, FMRI helps inform conservation efforts, resource management, and policies to protect Florida's valuable aquatic resources. They collaborate with government agencies, researchers, and the public to ensure sustainable use of marine environments for future generations.
