MARINE: WHO WE ARE
Who We Are
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.
