The Future of Shark Science: The New OCEARCH Headquarters
Coming to Mayport, Jacksonville, Florida — a permanent home where research, education, and community come together to return our world’s oceans to balance and abundance. This $50M+ project is already more than halfway funded—$26 million secured thanks to the City of Jacksonville, the State of Florida, Jacksonville University, and generous donors. Now, we need your help to complete it.
THE FUTURE OF SHARK SCIENCE: THE NEW OCEARCH HEADQUARTERS
The new facility—situated in Mayport—will serve as the global headquarters for OCEARCH’s collaborative research and rescue efforts, experiential education programs, and vessel operations. This partnership with Jacksonville University, now officially “OCEARCH at Jacksonville University,” roots this global endeavor firmly in our community. As Tim Cost, President of Jacksonville University, puts it:
“Renewing our partnership with OCEARCH is an exciting next step in our collaborative efforts to bring a transformative impact … We are setting the stage for a future where education and research drive meaningful change across the globe.”
Help Build the OCEARCH Headquarters
With $26 million already secured toward our $50M+ goal, the final stretch depends on your support. Every contribution—large or small—helps us complete this new facility and ensure that science, education, and community engagement thrive for generations to come.
LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY

TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD THE FUTURE OF SHARK SCIENCE
The OCEARCH Headquarters in Jacksonville will stand as a symbol of what is possible when communities, governments, and individuals unite to protect our oceans. Jacksonville University is leading the charge—now it’s your turn to join the mission. Every donation brings us closer to the finish line.
