Education Programs

School or Community Group Programs

Marine animals make ideal teaching tools. Dolphins, whales, seals, and sea turtles are charismatic and interesting. The ocean depths in which they live are mysterious and exciting. By using marine animals as subject material, National Marine Life Center instructors address topics from biology to physics, writing composition to art, math to technology. Marine animals also make ideal subjects for lessons on conservation and human impacts on our environment. Because children are interested in marine animals, they are inspired to learn and take positive action.

The National Marine Life Center offers a variety of educational programs about marine animals, strandings, rehabilitation, and ocean conservation. 

To schedule an education program for your school or community group, call 508-743-9888 or e-mail gdevine@nmlc.org. Due to staffing limitations, we are very limited in the days and times to provide these services.
