Our Philosophy

The Society for Ocean Sciences is dedicated to increasing the awareness of students and the general public to all aspects of ocean science. We achieve this goal by engaging people in marine science and bringing to light issues specific to the ocean realm. The Society emphasizes environmental problems currently facing coastal marine habitats and fisheries. 

The cross-disciplinary nature of ocean sciences encompasses aspects of physics, geology, chemistry, life science and meteorology. This amalgamation of sciences captures young people of all interests in scientific study. 

We hope the experiences gained through our society will inspire our youth to begin careers in science. We believe that there are four steps to becoming a steward of ocean science. We believe that our approach to the study of ocean science will create a strong society of people who love the oceans as much as we do. Take your first step with us and explore the wonders of the oceans!
