The Sea Lab will be hosting the Southern Association of Marine Educators Conference on  November 14th-16th at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.  An Ocean Observing Workshop will be conducted in conjunction with this conference, and all formal and informal educators are invited.

Participants will learn the latest research on ocean observing systems and have a rare opportunity to meet research scientists, policy makers and other members of the educational community to discuss bridging the gap between research and real-world applications in the classroom.

The $10 fee includes lodging, meals, field trips and workshop materials; participants are responsible for their own transportation and expenses to and from the workshop.  Participants will also receive a one-year membership to the Southern Association of Marine Educators and the National Marine Educators Association.
