For more than four decades, the Marine Science Institute has endeavored to instill an appreciation for the local San Francisco bay area in students through interactive programs. Beginning with the Discovery Voyage, the institute began offering opportunities for young people to experience the natural world as well as learn about the scientific approach and the issues facing future generations.
These programs became so successful that they now attract more than 50,000 participants. They include various marine camps designed for different age groups, ranging from Plankton Pioneers, which introduces kindergartners and first graders to marine life through a boating adventure, to Project Discovery, a four-day experience in which high school students experience marine field-work.
As a non-profit organization, the Marine Science Institute relies on donations from individuals and businesses to support its programs. The institute also receives support from volunteers.
