Established in 1996, SEASL (Saltwater Enthusiasts Association of St. Louis) is the flagship saltwater club in the St. Louis area. We are a group of saltwater enthusiasts who meet regularly to share our knowledge and learn from others about our hobby. At our meetings, everyone is always welcome. While membership is offered and encouraged, we have no membership requirements.

We meet the second Saturday of the month from September through May, unless otherwise scheduled. Meetings are held at member’s homes so attendee’s gets to see the fantastic reefs we have in St. Louis. Meetings often include coral door prizes and programs include speakers, demonstrations, and an annual trip to Inland Aquatics. At various times during the year, local retailers host an open house for SEASL. Those events get large turnouts. The storeowners give us a tour of their operations, exclusive shopping time, discounts, a summary of their involvement in the hobby, and their personal attention for our questions and comments. Please see our Events page for details about our next meeting. We would love to see you there!

NOTE: Meetings and/or events may be added, removed, or changed as planning progresses.
