*Opportunities are endless: Based on the student’s skills/strengths, they can develop a project of
their own for our organization. In the past, we’ve had students make an educational lesson for
elementary classrooms, someone designed whale/dolphin art pieces, and another made us a sticker
to promote donations to Marine Life Studies.

To go out on the research vessel, students must have an entire day free.
