NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHING SOON!


Florida SEE is hard at work launching a new website and membership program. 
This will allow us to better engage with ecotour providers, implement a certification process online and promote those who achieve certification through FLORIDA SEE. 

Active members will become 'supporters' of Florida SEE through their annual donation. 
And Certified providers will benefit from a page on our website where they can promote their business. 
STAY TUNED....EXCITING TIMES AHEAD!
