New volunteers
Please contact us if you are interested in donating your time as a Marine Life Studies Ocean Steward volunteer!
We are educating and inspiring a new generation of environmental stewards. We invite you to be a part of this exciting work!
Marine Life Studies provides free educational programs to children and adults through specific programs and at public events including Whalefest, BLUE Ocean Film Festival, etc. to increase awareness and foster environmental stewardship.
We teach high school and college students research techniques during boat surveys on the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. They learn to document whale and dolphin behavior, collect marine debris and take water samples for the California Health Department.
Marine Life Studies' Whale Entanglement Team (WET)® responds to and disentangles whales entangled in fishing line and marine debris.
We developed specialized educational programs, our Ocean Literacy Series, for children at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, both the Seaside and Salinas units, to promote environmental stewardship. The programs include Whale & Marine Wildlife Adventure (which includes taking the children whale watching), Pollution Solutions and Take it to the Streets™ Community Cleanup.
Throughout the Monterey Peninsula we organize Take it to the Streets™ Community cleanups to work on the source of pollution by picking up trash at local malls, schools, parks, etc., thus eliminating marine pollution before it can reach our lakes and oceans through storm drains and local watersheds.
