    -  Opportunities for students to study marine biology
 
     Join us for a fast paced, engaging and highly informative program that will take students on an above and underwater tour of the ocean sciences and show them things that they can do to expand their study of the aquatic environment.
 
     Upon acceptance, admission is free to school groups and their teachers due a generous grant provided by the Boston Sea Rovers.
