Blue Scholars Initiative

We empower youth to catch the prevailing winds in their sails, explore the wonders of Marine Science, and discover their crucial role in our Earth’s future.

Blue Scholars Initiative engages students in marine biology, marine ecology and watershed concepts, providing a better understanding of, and connection to, the marine ecosystem and the impact of human stresses. Through hands-on, experiential learning, students further investigate the rich biodiversity beneath the surface, conduct citizen science and develop a passion for the environment, inspiring our next generation of ocean stewards to solve our most pressing and difficult issues.

Blue Scholars Initiative is a free educational program inviting each participating group to perform a Community Service Project (CSP) to earn their trip. CSPs provide an opportunity for students to not only work together and connect with their peers, but also to develop life-skills while learning the value of giving back to benefit the community.
