comes to Alaska

Thanks to a $2.5 million grant from NSF, Alaska will be getting its own Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence.

COSEE Alaska is a partnership between the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Alaska Ocean Observing System, Alaska SeaLife Center, North Pacific Research Board, UAF SFOS and the UAF Center for Cross-Cultural Studies.

The center will be located in Anchorage. COSEE's purpose is to increase ocean literacy and education, and to connect western scientific knowledge with local traditional knowledge, especially concerning climate change and the oceans.
