Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute is dedicated to promoting science literacy as a strategy to enhance the nation's understanding of scientific research and its contribution to economic development and community quality of life.  As knowledge becomes a driving force in the new global economy, research institutes, universities, government and corporations must work together to make sure that knowledge is generated, transmitted, and used for social and economic good.

HSWRI is committed to sharing our research and accomplishments with scientists and the public. Furthermore, the Institute is dedicated to promoting scientific interest and understanding among teachers and students to ensure that the next generation of research pioneers will be competitive in the world of science and industry. HSWRI acts as a mentor for new scientists and educators by providing research opportunities, training and "hands-on" experience through collaboration with academic institutions.
