The Coastal Observing Center and the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing Center (GoMOOS) have co-sponsored  teacher workshops held at UNH since 2004. At these Educator Institutes, participants learn new content, gain lab and sea research experience as well as identify new classroom activities to translate ocean science to learners. Through computers and web available data, teachers learned how the Gulf of Maine works, how it changes and how we can monitor those changes.
