make waves instead of riding them
The Florida Aquarium’s Making Waves Society (MWS) is comprised of young professionals from Tampa Bay who share a common passion for conservation and wildlife. Our mission is to immerse MWS members with professional engagement through volunteering, networking and leadership opportunities. We also hold member social events with the Aquarium’s Board of Directors, senior leadership team, and donors, while providing philanthropic support to advance the mission of The Florida Aquarium. Together, we will raise funds and develop friends to ensure the Aquarium continues to thrive for years to come. Help us protect & restore our blue planet.
