In addition to providing a bigger and better home for our raptors, the outdoor exhibit will help staff educate visitors about the importance of raptors in the environment and allow their current homes to be converted into much needed hospital rehabilitation space for the 1,100-plus sick and injured birds that are brought to the Marine Science Center each year.
The exhibit is funded by a Volusia ECHO Grant, funds from the American Rescue Plan Act revenue loss provision, and community donations made through the Friends of Marine Science Center.
