The National Marine Educators Association 2026 Annual Conference concludes with field trips on July 16th. There are several spots available for some of the field trips that we are opening to non-conference attendees to join. You don’t have to be an educator to join the field trip.
Discover how science meets the shoreline with a tour of the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory (COL) with hosts from the NOAA Environmental Science Training Center, followed by a guided walk through Oxford highlighting real-world resiliency projects addressing sea-level rise and environmental changes (and a stop by the world famous Highland Creamery). This field trip offers a behind-the-scenes look at research, community planning, and innovative solutions protecting coastal towns.
