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.
