Education & Outreach
The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation invests in preparing the next generation of conservationists to tackle the challenges facing our ocean and Great Lakes. We aim to create AHA! moments that lead to a lifelong passion for the ocean and Great Lakes by providing students, educators, and lifelong learners with opportunities to explore and discover connections to the natural world, no matter where they live. Our education work includes in- and out-of-classroom learning experiences, teacher trainings, citizen science opportunities, and educational exhibits at zoos and aquariums across the country.
