Volusia County Citizens Academy 2009

Day 6:
Travel, Entertainment, Recreation & Economic Development

8 a.m.- 5 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009

Economic development is as much about quality of life issues as it is about training a workforce and enhancing infrastructure. The County services highlighted in this session are interrelated and critical to our ability to make our community attractive to new businesses as well as to new residents and visitors.

Volusia County's Marine Science Center (MSC)

Fast Facts



"Washbacks" are newly-hatched baby sea turtles that are "washed back" to shore by rough seas. Since opening in 2002, the MSC has received and cared for thousands of them, along with hundreds of hatchlings and juvenile and adult sea turtles.

You'll be able to see some of these marine reptiles at the seven turtle hospital pools located in front of the main facility.
