| March 21, 2009 | Join the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association for "Feeling the Heat: Thermal Biology and Responses to Climate Change" with Dr. Jonathon Stillman from 10 am - 3 pm. Hear about Dr. Stillman's research in climate change and the physiological responses of rocky intertidal crabs and lagoon corals to thermal fluctuations and extremes.
|
| April 18, 2009 | The 2009 Sanctuary Currents Symposium titled "Back to the Future - Preserving the Sanctuary by Exploring its Past" will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Monterey, California from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.
|
| May 2, 2009 | Join the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association for "Life & Death, Love & Sex, Drama in the Intertidal Zone" with Dr. Tom Niesen from 10 am - 3 pm. Learn about the fascinating reproductive strategies and defense mechanisms of local intertidal animals that allow them to survive in their dynamic habitat.
|
| June, 2009 | The Rivers to Reefs Educators Workshop will be held in June 2009 in collaboration with the Georgia Aquarium. The workshop takes teachers through the local watershed on its 270-mile course from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia and eventually offshore to Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary.
|
| June 22-26, 2009 | The National Association of Black Scuba Divers (NABS) Youth Summit will take place in Savannah, Georgia during the summer of 2009. Forty youth from under-served, under-represented populations will be selected to participate in the experience of a lifetime in coastal Georgia. Over a five-day period high school aged participants will explore the many habitats of barrier islands that include salt marshes, maritime forests, white-sandy beaches and vibrant estuaries and dive on an offshore reef and shipwreck. Special sessions will be led by underwater marine archaeologists, oceanographers, marine biologists and geophysicists. To underscore the importance of technology in ocean science research and exploration, participants will build their own working miniature remotely operated vehicle as an evening activity. This will be the sixth annual educational youth summit organized by NABS.
|
| July 11-15, 2009 | The Down Under, Out Yonder aka DUOY is a five-day teacher workshop from that includes three days of scuba diving in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary hosted by the Gulf of Mexico Foundation.

| July 15-30, 2009 | Oceans for Life hosts the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Field Study in Key Largo, Florida and Washington, DC.
|
| July 21-24, 2009 | The 2009 Ocean Science Teacher Workshop is designed for Olympic Coast's 4th and 5th grade teachers to better prepare them to use inquiry-based marine science as a context for learning about ecosystems and ocean literacy principles. Participants will engage in activities that support inquiry-based, experiential learning in the classroom and at the beach. Teachers will learn how to design their own investigations in the field to help them to better understand real world marine science. For more information, please contact Jacqueline Laverdure at 360.457.6622 ext. 21.
