• The Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence Great Lakes (COSEE Great Lakes) will connect teachers and informal educators, students in grades 4-10, and the public with the science of the nation's Great Lakes and world's oceans. More than 2,000 teachers will enhance their Great Lakes and ocean sciences competencies while developing working relationships with researchers during the period 2005-2010, and more than 350 researchers will engage in the education of new audiences. Public understanding of Great Lakes and ocean sciences is key to helping stakeholders make informed decisions on coastal and ocean management and personal stewardship issues. COSEE Great Lakes will engage the public in ways that promote a deeper understanding of our inland seas - the Great Lakes - and their influence on our quality of life and our national prosperity.
