The University of Tampa's waterfront Marine Science Field Station is located at Bayside Marina, about 20 minutes from campus. This
3,000-square-foot facility is well equipped to serve both students and faculty in marine science, environmental studies and biology programs. The facility includes a wet laboratory as well as a dry lab/classroom, a scuba storage area, lockers, showers and a boat slip. The wet lab has a recirculating/flow-through seawater system with reservoirs at ground level and a full complement of standard aquarium equipment. On the eastern edge of the marina property is a mosaic of supratidal and shallow-water habitats that UT faculty maintain.
