The mission of the COSEE
Network is to engage scientists
and educators to transform
ocean sciences education.
Each Center works to:
• Engage ocean scientists and assist them
with developing strong broader impacts of
their research
• Foster the integration of ocean research
into high quality education materials
• Enhance the capacity of educators to
deliver high quality ocean science
programs
• Promote a deeper understanding of the
ocean
