The Florida Conservation and Technology Hub (FCTC), located on 500 acres near Tampa Electric’s Big Bend Power Plant, is a hub where cutting-edge technology meets wildlife conservation.
Partnering with the Florida Aquarium and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, FCTC focuses on protecting Florida’s wildlife through innovative solutions.
On Jan. 30, TECO invited legislative staff to tour the facility to learn about ongoing research and conservation efforts. Highlights include manatee rescue, sea turtle rehabilitation and coral restoration. The public can visit seasonally from Nov. 1-April 15, with free admission and parking from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
