The Ocean for Life program is an initiative to increase cultural understanding through ocean science. Ocean for Life will provide high quality, immersive ocean field studies and follow-on education programs to facilitate cross-cultural learning, appreciation, and lasting experiences between Middle Eastern and Western students. We invite teachers to help with the recruitment of high school students for our pilot field studies during the summer of 2009.
