Project
Oceanica's goal is to integrate education with oceanographic
research and exploration, and to develop educational resources
and programs available to college and high school students,
as well as to K-12 educators. Project Oceanica was established
in August, 2001 with initial support from the NOAA
Ocean Service – Coastal
Services Center. Currently, Oceanica receives funding from
a variety of sources and is housed within the College
of Charleston’sDepartment
of Geology & Environmental Geosciences.
