New York State 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, 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.
The information presented below is generally in timeline format, so please scroll down to see what's upcoming, along with links to registration or partner pages.

As has become our custom, we are inviting high school and college students as well as adults to attend the conference. We encourage teachers to bring students who are interested in marine science, and we encourage students to bring their science teachers!
Field trips will run from 2-5 pm. We hope you can stay! Choose between visiting the NY Aquarium or taking a cruise on the educational R/V CUNY 1.

Are you a Ph.D. candidate, post-doc, or established scientist doing research on bioluminescence, coral reefs and bleaching, Mariana Trench and deep oceans, impact of global warming on oceans, and/or water pressure? Stephanie Fins, a teacher with the Dalton School at the American Museum of Natural History, is looking to identify 6-10 scientists who are interested in being interviewed by a small group of students for about half an hour, either by Sykpe, or in person if they are local. If you are available to speak with students, either individually or in a small group where they would ask 3-5 questions, please reach out to her at sfins@amnh.org.
