Ocean Solutions (Ages 15 - 17)

The ocean and coastal ecosystems are under more serious threats than ever before. Our question to you is, will you be part of the problem or will you help uncover solutions to these global issues?

Join MarineQuest in one of our two Ocean Solutions programs to find out if you have what it takes to save our seas and humankind. Learn more about each program below.

CONSERVATION - Embark on an exciting journey as a biological oceanographer, where you'll split your time between field exploration and cutting-edge lab work to uncover the secrets of our oceans. Dive into hands-on activities, from collecting real-time data on marine biodiversity to analyzing the health of local ecosystems. You'll tackle critical topics like overfishing, invasive species, coral bleaching, dead zones, harmful algal blooms, and bycatch - learning not only about the challenges our oceans face, but also about innovative strategies to protect and preserve these vital biiomes. Prepare to engage in creative problem-solving, team collaboration, and scientific inquiry as yo investivate the most pressing environmental issues of today.

COASTAL MANAGEMENT - Join MarineQuest as we embark on an exciting journey through the dynamic world of coastal management - where science, policy, and sustanability converge. Throughout this week of Ocean Solutions, you'll explore the challenges of protecting our coasts from the natural forces of win, water, and storms while preserving our communities and the local environment alike. Engage in through-provoking discussions and debates about coastal development, urban planning, and the balance between human needs and biodiversity preservation. By the end of the week, you'll not only understand theimportance of building strong, more adaptable coastal communities, but also be equipped with the knowledge and skills to become a resilient ocean and coastal advocate.
