The Hubbs Florida Ocean Fund concentrates its giving on marine and fisheries science, directing nearly all of its support to scientific research and studies. Grants are targeted toward organizations conducting applied coastal and fisheries research in Florida, with a strong emphasis on institutional research partners rather than program-level general operating support.
Highly concentrated: a small number of relatively large grants, often repeated to the same institutional grantees, focused geographically on Florida marine science rather than broadly distributed philanthropic support.
