North Palm Beach, Florida (April 15, 2025) ─ ANGARI Foundation raised more than $100,000, a new record, for marine science research and education at its Annual Celebration on Saturday, April 5. Guests gathered at the North Palm Beach waterfront restaurant Belle’s, located in the heart of Safe Harbor Old Port Cove, to toast ANGARI reaching a milestone 100 expeditions.

The Foundation’s 65-foot research vessel, R/V ANGARI, sat dockside for guests to tour and learn about ANGARI’s mission of supporting marine science through affordable research charters and hands-on STEM education programs.
