ST Education and Training
ST’s education and outreach efforts are directed at a wide range of audiences that include K-12, undergraduate and graduate students, the general public, and international fisheries communities. Many of these efforts focus on building capacity and increasing diversity in NOAA Fisheries’ science workforce, particularly in the fields of stock assessment science and marine resource economics.
