The Florida Conservation and Technology Center immerses visitors in the state's unique ecosystem and offers a behind-the-scenes look at efforts to help it thrive. The "theme" of this "park" is the real Florida, and how we can help preserve it through – you guessed it – conservation and technology!

The 500-acre campus is a showcase for stewardship, 研究, 栖息地的恢复, 帮助濒危物种, 教育——是的, 有趣的! The Center is the collaboration of three champions of the environment: 坦帕电, the Florida Aquarium and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

澳门线上真人博彩官网的 海牛观赏中心

If you want a perfect spot to watch manatees gather, without being in or on the water, 澳门线上真人博彩官网的 海牛观赏中心 那是最好的地方吗! A system of boardwalks offers great vantage points to watch the gentle giants do their thing – which, 剧透警告, 没有多少! The manatees meet here because the nearby Big Bend power station circulates water from Tampa Bay for cooling, then sends the water flowing clean and warm back into the bay. In the winter months, the manatees leave colder waters in favor of the warm and welcoming refuge.

鼻子了! The Center is more than just manatees – there's also a stingray touch tank, 教育中心, 走小路, wildlife observation tower and much more!

澳门线上真人博彩官网的 Tom Hernandez Clean Energy Center

The Clean Energy Center is an open-air shaded pavilion powered by a combination of solar, 风和电网. 它有四个乐趣, interactive games and kids can see for themselves how solar and wind energy can be harnessed and stored. An on-site laboratory monitors the energy collected and distributed from the center's solar and wind generation.

有什么可以看和做的?

The Clean Energy Center is just what its name suggests! The Key West-style building overlooks a "solar flower" that slowly moves to track the sun as it soaks up energy. A wind turbine near the parking lot converts any available wind to energy.

儿童(和成人)!) can learn more about those clean energy sources – and much more – with interactive, touch-screen games inside the open-air pavilion:

• 能源探险家 – go on a geocaching adventure by following a map, finding the clues and scanning the codes
• 花力量 – take control of a virtual solar collector and discover what it takes to power a town
• 充电 – challenge your friends to an energy production race with pedal power
• 打击能源浪费者 – see how fast you can eliminate "energy wasters" and how much you'll save

There's much to see, do and learn at the Florida Conservation and Technology Center. Be sure to stop by the Clean Energy Center when you visit!
