This institution owns and operates an 85-foot research vessel, the R/V Vantuna. In addition to meeting the instructional demands of students enrolled in marine science courses, the R/V Vantuna is involved in educating and giving field-based experiences to students in teacher preparation programs. Extensive educational outreach efforts aimed at K-12 and students in 2- and 4-year college programs in the area are conducted by this program. However, since the boat was initially outfitted 25 years ago, oceanographic sampling gear and methods of data analysis have moved well beyond its original capabilities. This project is augmenting the equipment on the boat with sophisticated electronic sampling and photodocumentation gear that allows students to learn state-of-the-art techniques and collect numerical and visual data to support integrative studies. The uniqueness of this project comes from the extended use of oceanographic data in linking field and classroom activities. Not only are many students, and especially future teachers, being given access to sophisticated equipment to learn modern oceanographic techniques, but the high quality data they collect is being made universally available for analysis through an extensive database. This approach is extending the value of the oceanographic experience beyond those groups traditionally served, and benefiting off-campus groups who can sample the database by searching the Internet.

该机构拥有并运营着一艘85英尺长的研究船，R/V万图纳号。除了满足参加海洋科学课程的学生的教学需求外，R/V Vantuna还参与了教师培训计划的教育和为学生提供实地经验。广泛的教育推广工作针对K-12和学生在2年和4年的大学课程在该地区进行。然而，由于这艘船最初是在25年前装备的，海洋采样设备和数据分析方法已经远远超出了它最初的能力。该项目增加了船上的设备，配备了复杂的电子采样和摄影记录设备，使学生能够学习最先进的技术，并收集数字和视觉数据，以支持综合研究。这个项目的独特之处在于将海洋学数据广泛应用于联系实地活动和课堂活动。许多学生，特别是未来的教师，不仅有机会使用先进的设备来学习现代海洋学技术，而且他们收集的高质量数据正在通过一个广泛的数据库进行分析。这种方法将海洋学经验的价值扩展到传统服务的群体之外，并使校外团体受益，他们可以通过搜索互联网对数据库进行采样。
