DISL Research Lab Guided Tour

Recommended for ages 12 & up. Children 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Did you know that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is the home campus of nearly 20 research labs, run by scientists studying a broad diversity of topics, from deep-sea bacteria to hurricanes to manatees, and much more? Get a behind-the-scenes look at the research labs of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab! With a notable one-day exception, these areas are not open to the public, so this is a unique opportunity to see Sea Lab scientists at work. Learn about current research projects, methods, and technologies.

We will meet at the Alabama Aquarium, then take a walking tour to hear from some of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s on-campus researchers and visit research labs.
