Sharing information is critical to the success of MCERC’s goals and to the people we work so hard to support through our programs.
We eagerly participate in outreach programs, develop opportunities for citizen scientists, create internships and seminars in our online platforms to reach as far as possible across the globe.
The science team distributes information gleaned from research projects via peer reviewed publications, professional conferences, and outreach opportunities.
All program participants are mentored into being ambassadors for conservation so that they can continue to share the science that is so important to the future of healthy marine ecosystems.
