Join the Ocean Research & Conservation Association’s signature fundraising event, ORCA’s Explorer’s Experience, at Triton Submarines in Sebastian, Florida. This evening brings together scientists, conservationists, community leaders, and ocean advocates to support ORCA’s work protecting and restoring the Indian River Lagoon and coastal ecosystems through science, restoration, and education.
Guests are invited to an unforgettable evening of discovery and will enjoy dinner, drinks, and live music, immersed in the world of state-of-the-art deep-sea submersibles. The evening will also include bioluminescence-inspired light painting, a silent auction, and a raffle for a custom paddleboard created and donated by Dragonfly Boatworks.
In addition to supporting ORCA’s mission, this special evening will offer guests a glimpse into the remarkable work of ORCA founder Dr. Edie Widder. Her pioneering research in bioluminescence and deep-ocean exploration has illuminated the beauty and mystery of life in the ocean’s darkest depths and is featured in the new documentary A Life Illuminated.
