As an undergraduate with an interest in marine science, environmental studies, and/or education you will have the unique opportunity to enroll in MUSE, an integrated program that combines research, independent study projects, and opportunities to teach younger students, using the resources of your university or college and SoundWaters, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of Long Island Sound and its watershed.

As an intern at SoundWaters Coastal Education Center you will assist educators teaching ecology to urban preschool, elementary, middle and high school students involved in SoundWaters educational programs. You will also have the opportunity to teach aboard the Schooner SoundWaters.

You will be able to use Long Island Sound itself as a living laboratory and sail aboard the 80-foot schooner, SoundWaters, which serves as a floating classroom for a variety of environmental education programs. Your work in the program will increase your understanding of many environmental issues and your ability to lead and promote responsible efforts to preserve marine life in and around Long Island Sound.
