This award provides funding for a Regional Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence with administrative offices located at the University of Southern Mississippi's Marine Education Center and Aquarium in Biloxi, Ms. The proposal would establish satellite centers in Louisiana, and Alabama and expand existing USM teacher professional development efforts into these states. This Center would make extensive use of the expertise of regional marine educators as interpreters of ocean and coastal marine science research in professional development institutes for formal and informal educators. This center will be one of seven regional centers that represent the initiation of the COSEE network. The initial set of centers covers most of the East Coast, Florida, the Gulf Coast, and California. A central coordinating office for the seven centers will also be funded.

该奖项为海洋科学教育卓越区域中心提供资金，该中心的行政办公室位于南密西西比大学的海洋教育中心和比洛西水族馆。 该提案将在路易斯安那州和亚拉巴马州建立卫星中心，并将现有的USM教师专业发展工作扩展到这些州。 该中心将广泛利用区域海洋教育工作者的专门知识，为正规和非正规教育工作者讲解专业发展机构的海洋和沿海海洋科学研究。该中心将是代表COSEE网络启动的七个区域中心之一。最初的一组中心覆盖了东海岸、佛罗里达、墨西哥湾沿岸和加州的大部分地区。还将为七个中心的中央协调办公室提供资金。
