Marine Environmental Education Center at the Carpenter House Receives 2019 Best of Hollywood Award

The Marine Environmental Education Center (MEEC) at the Carpenter House has been selected for the 2019 Best of Hollywood Award in the Education Center category by the Hollywood Award Program.

Each year, the Hollywood Award Program identifies companies that have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Hollywood area a great place to live, work and play.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2019 Hollywood Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Hollywood Award Program and data provided by third parties.

The MEEC was opened with the desire to educate and delight locals and tourists alike through our educational green sea turtle, Captain, and the splendor of the coastal environment in South Florida. The MEEC was fostered from a partnership between Broward County Parks and Recreation and Nova Southeastern University. The facility is located on the historic grounds of the Carpenter House at Hollywood North Beach Park in Hollywood, Florida. For more information: https://cnso.nova.edu/carpenter-house-meec/index.html
