Our History

UF/IFAS has a long history of research, teaching and extension programs in the Nature Coast region, along with an extensive track record of working with agency cooperators to improve the conservation and management of natural resources and communities in the region.   These previous efforts have built a foundation on which the Nature Coast Biological Station will further develop the UF/IFAS mission of research, teaching, and extension in the region.
