Marine Education Association

About Us

NYSMEA exists to promote marine awareness and encourage the growth and exchange of instructional resources within the scientific, commercial, and educational communities. We hold an annual conference, periodic meetings, lectures, workshops, field trips, and boat trips and produce a monthly newsletter, "The Strandline", which alerts members to upcoming activities and new postings on our Web site. Our Web site also includes lesson plans, job postings, research opportunities, field trip destinations, and marine-related links. For example:

On Saturday, May 19th, NYSMEA held its 39th annual conference, "Marine Explorations: From the Hudson Canyon to the Shores of New York" at Kingsborough Community College. Highlights of the day included keynote speakers, three morning workshop sessions, afternoon field trips, silent and live auctions, buffet lunch and dinner, and an evening speaker. See our Facebook page for photos.
