“Project Oceanology is an excellent way for teens to learn about the ocean, which is essential to the planet’s well-being. It has an at-hand experience where kids can do the very thing that the professionals do and learn firsthand. All the staff was very knowledgeable, and it was interesting to observe them handle all the types of equipment.”
