The Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) will be offering a workshop for formal and informal educators on Ocean Observing Systems and Apex Predators.  This exciting workshop will occur concurrently with the Southern Association of Marine Educators Annual Conference.

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.

COSEE is funded by the National Science Foundation.
