Marine Research Hub of South Florida, Inc.

Through active collaboration across industry, academia, government, and the private sector, we facilitate the kind of cross-sector partnerships that move research out of the lab and into the marketplace. As a trade association, we work to elevate the visibility and reputation of South Florida's oceanographic and marine research institutions, connecting them with the pathways needed to commercialize nature-based and research-driven solutions. From technology transfer to workforce development, our programming is designed to harden marine infrastructure, attract and retain top talent, and generate measurable economic impact.

We serve a broad network of stakeholders across South Florida — researchers, entrepreneurs, marine businesses, and community leaders — who share our commitment to a healthier ocean and a stronger coastal economy. Whether you're a startup looking to bring a marine technology to market or an established institution seeking stronger industry ties, we are here to help build those bridges. Fort Lauderdale sits at the heart of one of the most dynamic marine corridors in the world, and we believe that's exactly where this work belongs.
