Your Generous Support The Seymour Marine Discovery Center is a self-funded member of the University of California, Santa Cruz community. While we enjoy the many benefits of association with our colleagues at the university, the vast majority of our funding comes from outside sources. All programs and daily operations of the Seymour Center are funded through memberships in the Friends of Long Marine Lab, gifts, grants, special events, program fees, facility rentals, gift store sales, and admission fees. The Seymour Center depends upon community support! Donations are both needed and welcomed. There are many ways to contribute: Please make a gift now.
