Student Ocean Scientist Program
AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, Reef Check and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI) announced a collaborative partnership to engage youth in marine conservation through a highly interactive Student Ocean Scientist Program (SOS). This partnership aligns perfectly with AltaSea’s efforts to ignite passion and commitment through educational programs that immerse children and adults in the critical role that the ocean has on our planet.

The program is designed to raise awareness about the value of ocean resources, threats to ocean health and solutions to those problems among middle school students. This STEM-based program matches California’s Next Generation Science Standards. READ MORE
