Education Overview
Welcome
to our Education and Outreach web pages! Here
you will find the programs, materials and partnerships comprising our
Education and Outreach Program, and the goals shaping our approach.
Our
Mission:
To promote understanding, support and participation in the protection
and conservation of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Our Goals:
Provide
outreach programs and educational resources
The
ocean here is a special place! Check out these
programs and resource offerings designed to help you learn
more about the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Interpret
research and monitoring information
Research and monitoring programs help us better understand the sanctuary,
its health, and how to best protect its resources. Learn about current
research and monitoring efforts, or how you can get involved in monitoring
the sanctuary’s health.
Provide
multicultural education and outreach
Through our MERITO (Multicultural
Education for Resource Issues Threatening Oceans) program, we reach out
to diverse citizens to increase their understanding of ocean-related
threats so they can actively contribute to ocean preservation.
Provide
outreach on key resource management issues
Sensitive habitats
and species, along with a densely populated coastline and a variety of
human activities all lead to resource management issues in the sanctuary.
Learn about outreach efforts related to wildlife disturbance, water quality
or threatened and endangered species, and what you can do to help protect
the sanctuary’s resources.
Provide
interpretive facilities and displays
Planning is underway for
new visitor centers in San Simeon and Santa Cruz, while a Monterey Bay
Sanctuary Scenic Trail is slowly taking shape.
Collaborate
through key partnerships with other organizations
