From the early days of the labs well over 100 years ago, FHL has encouraged partnerships with the local community through

• participation in the education of children at local schools and
• in many volunteering opportunities for the community to contribute to marine science research.

In turn the community, along with alumni and others, have supported FHL through generous donations to designated funds that promote the education and training of new scientists at the labs. The FHL Advancement Board has been crucial in assuring continued support through prioritization guidance, outreach efforts, and funding campaigns.

This symbiotic relationship between FHL and the community is thriving today, and with your help, will continue for many years to come.
