Marine Mammal Scientist in Training Program
Monday, July 24, 9am – 4pm
The Marine Mammal Scientist-in-Training Program is an engaging, immersive one-week educational course designed for high school students interested in pursuing a career in marine mammal biology and conservation. Through a combination of field and classroom-based experiences using cutting edge methods and technologies, students have the opportunity to work directly with world-leading marine mammal researchers. We are fortunate to collaborate with these local experts who give their time and expertise to this program solely to train and inspire the next generation of scientists and conservationists to appreciate and safeguard our precious marine resources.
Each student will have unique opportunities to work side-by-side with expert scientists to study seals, sea lions, whales, and dolphins here in Monterey Bay. Each participant will help collect data to document animal distribution, feeding and behavioral patterns, underwater sound, and gain hands-on experience using specialized marine research technology.
We offer full and partial scholarships to students in need as well.
