This role involves watching over the touch tank to keep both guests and animals safe, along with hosting educational activities outside the Discovery Center’s doors. Touch tank and tabling volunteers are encouraged to engage visitors in conversation about the creatures on display, the local ecosystem, and Tampa Bay Watch's work. You will be an important advocate for our programs and the bay!
Please note! There is no special experience or knowledge required, we will provide a training guide and you will be invited to shadow an experienced person before you begin. Touch tank and tabling volunteers should be available to attend a regularly scheduled half-day shift at least once a week.

Mission Statement
Tampa Bay Watch, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit stewardship program dedicated exclusively to the protection and restoration of the marine and wetland environments of the Tampa Bay estuary through scientific and educational programs.
Description
Founded in 1993, we perform a variety of habitat restoration and protection activities throughout the year utilizing thousands of volunteers to help the bay recover from its environmental threats. Individuals of all ages from families, community groups, and schools participate in native grass plantings, oyster bar construction, coastal cleanups, and wildlife protection each year demonstrating environmental stewardship in its purest form. The efforts of Tampa Bay Watch to restore and protect the bay's habitat through stewardship provide effective long-term improvements to the bay and empower our community to counteract local environmental problems. Learning how to achieve and maintain a healthy environment is a legacy that will influence our children and future generations for years to come.
