The ocean can be a beautiful place to explore... ouch, what was that?!

Join us for the first webinar of the 2026 Florida SEE Webinar Series and dive into the fascinating science behind Floridaโ€™s stinging saltwater organisms. During this engaging presentation, you'll learn how to identify some of the most common stinging culprits, discover effective sting prevention and first-aid techniques, and find out why these animals sting in the first place.

From capturing prey to defending themselves, stinging organisms have evolved remarkable adaptations that are as diverse as the creatures themselves.
