In addition, PIER research and project updates are presented at several public venues all across southern California. The PIER team also engages younger audiences through presentations to K-12 schools in southern California.
As advocates of marine stewardship PIER established a partnership with the Oceanside SEA Center (OSC) to develop a diverse hub of marine-based education and recreation in Southern California. This synergistic collaboration focuses on promoting stewardship and an appreciation for the ocean and its resources, while addressing the overall lack of marine experiential learning and outreach opportunities available in Oceanside, California.
