Coastal Science Program for MS High Schools

About this grant

This project will support workforce development and job creation in the Gulf Coast Region through providing the needed equipment and facilities for enhanced marine and coastal science education at high schools across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Coastal Science project is designed to engage high school students in environmental education with hands-on experiences to include, but not limited to, water quality monitoring, raising native wetlands plants in a nursery for use at coastal restoration sites, and growing marine species, including native fish at an aquaculture facility, to be released in local estuarine waters.
