Outreach Programs

We Come To You!

Having an ocean-themed unit for your home-room or science class? Having trouble getting transportation? Are field trips just not in the budget? Consider inviting the Long Beach Marine Institute to your school for a fun and fascinating period of exploring the marine environment. Ever wonder what makes a shark tick? Are you trying to figure out what all the fuss is over coastal wetlands? Try one (or all!) of our special outreach programs and add that crowning touch to your ocean unit.

Shark Discovery Lab

An investigation into marine predator/prey relationships and vertebrate physiology, this program explores the fascinating world of sharks. Get to know these often misunderstood marvels with a lecture, video and SHARK DISSECTION!

Wild, Wild Wetlands

The few wetlands that remain are the last bastion of habitat left for vital species of marine organisms. An interactive presentation, video and wetland model construction help students understand the unparalleled role of wetlands in wildlife conservation.

Each Outreach Program is 2 hours, and costs just $225.00/class of 25 or fewer and $8.50 for each student exceeding 25.
