Welcome to COSEE-West, a west coast hub for the National Science Foundation supported National COSEE (Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence) Network.
The primary role of the COSEE Network is to create catalytic, multi-faceted collaborations to integrate ongoing research in the ocean sciences with K-12 education and outreach.
Research-oriented marine science faculty at UCLA & USC, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, the California Science Center, the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, and many others are creating a network of oceanographic researchers, K-12 educators, informal education centers and the general public. The program is broadly disseminated throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including the Los Angeles Unified School District and other Los Angeles County schools, with exceptional impact on under-achieving and under-represented minorities. |
