The world’s oceans are tremendously complex ecosystems, and to those persons beginning to learn about these places, the process of getting started can seem a bit daunting. Fortunately, the Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) has assembled a wide range of educational resources that address such as online learning exercises dealing with invasive species and summary fact sheets about each ocean. COSEE maintains different geographically discrete research centers (such as COSEE Great Lakes, COSEE Mid-Atlantic, etc.), so visitors looking for educational resources for these areas should proceed to these respective areas of the site directly. Students and teachers alike will appreciate the job and career exploration area of the site titled “OceanCareers”, as it includes specific information on how to prepare for careers in oceanography and related fields.
