Mote Science Education Aquarium (Mote SEA) is a world-class marine science facility at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, operated by Mote Marine Laboratory. Three major gallery wings — Florida's Gulf Coast, Indo-Pacific, and Florida Waters — showcase live sharks, Humboldt penguins, manatees, jellyfish, stingrays, and hundreds of marine species.
