Educational Programs at SCMI

The Southern California Marine Institute provides a variety of educational resources. Demonstration cruises on the Research Vessel Yellowfin are designed to collect data for an ongoing study, so the students are introduced to field research through the testing of water samples, data collection and species identification. Our staff and crew are capable of modifying the trips and tailor it to your educational needs.

A CSU Marine Biology Semester on Catalina Island is available to upper division university students during the Fall Semester. Students spend 15 weeks on Catalina Island at USC Wrigley hosted by California State University, Northridge and California State University, Long Beach.

AAUS and MOTC Certifications are available throughout the year.
