MARINE (Monterey Area Research Institutions’ Network for Education) provides professional development opportunities to prepare future ocean leaders for interdisciplinary, real world problem-solving. MARINE is a collaboration between UC Santa Cruz Coastal Science & Policy Program and seven Monterey Bay area academic campuses.

MARINE’s primary audience are interdisciplinary graduate students and early career professionals interested in coastal and ocean-related topics within our seven campus network:

• CSU Monterey Bay
• Moss Landing Marine Labs
• Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey
• Naval Postgraduate School
• Stanford University
• Stanford Hopkins Marine Station
• UC Santa Cruz

Each campus is represented by volunteer MARINE student and faculty liaisons. Both advise and inform program development from each campuses’ perspective.
