Participants work closely with faculty mentors from the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences at Savannah State University. The research experience may include fieldwork on Georgia’s coastal environments, laboratory-based studies, and data analysis. Students are involved in projects that can range from studying marine organisms and ecosystems to investigating human impacts on the marine environment.
In addition to research, the program includes seminars, workshops, and professional development activities that help students build skills in scientific communication, data analysis, and research methodologies. Students also have the opportunity to network with marine scientists and gain insights into careers in marine biology, environmental science, and conservation.
