Coastal Marine Education and Research Academy
To provide hands-on field research opportunities to college students interested in the
natural sciences, to provide hands-on marine education to the general public, and to
generate interest in our local ecosystems while conducting research to further the
understanding of shark and ray ecology.
Students: We offer a unique, 100% hands-on, field research experience to all future,
current, and past college students (must be at least 18 years of age to apply for weekly
program). This means that everyday you are on our boat handling live animals, such as
sharks, rays, and other marine animals, in their natural environment. You will also learn to
use field equipment while participating in active research. We allow you to do all activities
on the boat rather than just observing a professional crew. You will learn to handle marine
animals, tag sharks and rays, collect data, identify species, determine sex, design a research
project, and more. You will learn boat safety, boat operations, and piloting basics from
United States Coast Guard licensed Captains. Unlike other internship and research
opportunities, you may participate in as many of our 16 available weeks (May 4 - August
30) as you would like, and the weeks do not have to be consecutive. We hope this flexibility
will allow you to gain as much experience as you would like in the summer. Please follow
the link to the Students tab for more information.

DOE Pre-Service Teacher (PST) Internships
The goal of the PST Internships project is to enhance the nation’s source of proficient
teachers of K-12 science, mathematics, and technology. The Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory (PNNL) provides 10-week summer research appointments for pre-service
teachers who plan mathematics, science, or technology in K-12 schools.
During the summer the pre-service teachers are immersed in engaging, clearly defined
research experiences at DOE National Laboratories. The pre-service teachers are mentored
by a "master" teacher and mentor scientists at PNNL to maximize the building of content
knowledge and skills. The students spend 80% of their time on research and 20% of their
time engaged in workshops with the master teacher, attending seminars, and preparing
their deliverables. The master teacher assists the pre-service teachers in translating their
research experiences into inquiry-based K-12 educational modules that are aligned with
national science standards.
