Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at UC San Diego is one of the most important centers for global earth science research and education in the world. Scripps scientists work to understand and protect the planet by investigating our oceans, Earth, and atmosphere to find solutions to our greatest environmental challenges. Scripps leads research in climate change impacts and adaptation, resilience to hazards, conservation and biodiversity, oceans and human health, national security, and innovative technology to observe the planet.Supporting the efforts of SIO is the Oceanographic Data Facility (ODF), which is part of Shipboard Technical Support (STS) and is comprised of data processors and chemists. ODF personnel participate in numerous large-scale worldwide oceanographic expeditions providing reference quality data to researchers in the U.S. and abroad. These expeditions require a high level of technical expertise, extensive planning, and often, complicated logistical support. ODF also provides support for small-scale projects as well as technical consultations and equipment training.

The Florida State University Coastal & Marine Laboratory (FSUCML) is seeking a hatchery manager. The FSUCML is located 40 miles south of Tallahassee on the unspoiled “Forgotten Coast” of the Florida Panhandle. Research at the FSUCML focuses on estuarine and marine ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico.  Scientists at the lab direct externally funded projects addressing critical issues for the health and conservation of coastal and marine habitats.

The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) has an open role for an Oceanographic Instrumentation Technician.
The CRITFC Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction Program maintains an observation network of buoys and dock-based stations that track the physical and biogeochemical properties of the Columbia River estuary and plume, contributing to the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS). We seek an experienced and mechanically inclined Oceanographic Instrumentation Technician to join our team. 

Ocean Exchange and Marine Technology Society Present: Engaging with the Blue Economy – Early Career Ocean Professionals
Register for the event held on January 18, 2023  11am – 12 pm.
What will you learn?
Speaker Daniel Kleinman will share Seaworthy Collective’s systemic perspective on overcoming barriers to getting involved in the blue economy, and how Seaworthy’s opportunities for current and aspiring founders help break them down. 

It’s finally here, the new Marine Biology merchandise designs you all voted for! Launched by the marine biology undergraduate student club (the UW SeaDawgs RSO), all purchases go to support the club, which broadly supports our undergraduate community across the marine sciences programs.
We welcome all MarBio majors, minors, faculty, staff, and fans to check out the storefront linked below. New designs are available on apparel, accessories, and stickers. 

UW Marine Bio and FHL are now accepting priority applications for advanced juniors and seniors majoring in Marine Biology for courses which meet the ‘integrative field experience’ requirement. This is restricted only to marine bio majors who have met prerequisites and will happen before the standard FHL application process. If accepted, you will be able to confirm your placement in a specific FHL course ahead of the standard application (allowing you to work your plans around this time at FHL).

It was a very chilly November evening, but that didn’t stop a group of intrepid tidepoolers from the UW marine science RSO, SeaDawgs, from exploring the shoreline! Armed with flashlights, copious warm layers of clothing, and rubber boots, we set out to observe the fascinating critters that call the tide pools of one of our local beaches “home”.

After coordinating the transportation of an entire bus-load of students to Golden Gardens Beach and meeting up with others along the way, we enjoyed candy and prepped our materials to navigate the near pitch-black shores under the night sky. 

Welcome to the next student takeover! 2nd-year marine biology student, Samantha-Lynn Martinez, took over our Instagram and unpacked her exciting journey of combining design, illustration, camerawork, and science communication with her work here at UW, as well as outside of UW with research and marine science education gigs.

Samantha worked on an honors ad hoc project about how fishes hear with her instructor and curator of fishes at the Burke Museum, Luke Tornabene, over Autumn quarter. 

This course will help students learn to talk about their strengths, connect academic goals with potential career pathways and cultivate a network. Students will identify their professional and academic skills and interests through assigned readings, reflections, and in-class activities. The course includes lectures, seminar-style discussion, guest speakers, small group work, and individual coaching and feedback.

One of the primary goals of The Next Swell™ is to award scholastic scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in a marine science field. In the spring of 2021, we were able to award three scholarships of $2,000 and in the spring of 2022, we were able to award four scholarships of $3,000. This year we will be awarding multiple scholarships of $5,000.
