Education Team

Our team is composed of three full-time marine education specialists all with the goal of advancing ocean literacy and ocean sciences education. Our extended team includes teachers, scientists, and others - at our institution, in our region, and across the nation.

If you are interested in any of our programs or have questions about ocean literacy (or ocean currents, ocean sunfish, or the ocean in general) please contact us through the feedback form located on the Bridge.
