Thank you again for joining us for Mote Marine Laboratory's Oceanic Evening last night at the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. Your attendance made our signature gala a smashing success again this year. Support from the evening will go towards advancing Mote's mission through research, conservation and education. The fabulous sturgeon and caviar served during our meal is a product from Mote's Aquaculture Research Park. I am proud to share with you this video, which showcases the innovative and impactful work that takes place here: As a means of expressing our appreciation for your attendance at Oceanic Evening, I am pleased to offer you a behind the scenes tour of Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium*.
