  2. COSEE is a national network of 7 regional “Centers of Ocean Sciences Excellence” – Funded primarily by NSF/OCE with additional funding from NOAA, ONR, US Navy – Overarching mission is to forge strong links between the ocean research and education communities – Potential to grow to 21 centers with budgets up to $1.5M/year

  3. COSEE has focused on: • – serving as a catalyst for partnerships between scientists and educators. • – establishing a robust network of ocean science educators at both the regional and national levels. • – taking a leadership role in the future of US ocean science education.

  4. We are fortunate to have two COSEEs in the Southern California Bight region that can help provide the underpinnings of a strong Education component for SCCOOS: • – CA COSEE: SIO, CA SeaGrant, MATE and LHS • – COSEE West: UCLA, USC, USC SeaGrant, LA Unified School District

  5. CA COSEE is planning to hire a part-time Education Coordinator who will: – Interface with Education Coordinators at other RAs – Provide oversight and coordination for programmatic elements – Oversee planning for an education “portal” on the SCCOOS website
