Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary occasionally offers or partners with other marine education organizations to offer a variety of professional development opportunities for teachers, including Teacher at Sea Opportunities. Workshops focus on topics related to ocean conservation and marine sanctuary ecosystems.

Teacher at Sea

Due to COVID-19, Teacher at Sea opportunities are suspended.

Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary recruits and places educators to be Teacher(s) at Sea on the annual ACCESS cruise in collaboration with the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Point Blue Conservation Science. Learn more and meet past teachers at sea.

Teacher at Sea Opportunities are seasonal and require a commitment from the teacher to participate fully during the research cruise if selected and implement new activities in the classroom related to the at sea experience.
