The University of Massachusetts, American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), New York Hall of Science, and Boston Public Schools propose a thematic COSEE Center, that will greatly broaden the impacts of the COSEE Network. COSEE-OCEAN will use existing social and professional relationships to strategically engage ocean scientists in education and outreach activities by offering them professional development workshops at annual ASLO meetings and connecting them to COSEE Network outreach activities. COSEE-OCEAN will efficiently leverage these existing networks to expand and enhance a two-way exchange of innovation, experience, educational products, professional development models and best practices between COSEE and mainstream STEM formal and informal education communities. Our vision is that within five years, all ocean scientists will be aware of and have access to education and outreach opportunities within the COSEE Network; the COSEE Network will be able to exchange knowledge and resources with STEM programs nationwide; informal education institutions will have increased their capacity to address public ocean literacy; and a model for implementing a high quality ocean curriculum in diverse, non-coastal urban school districts will be widely disseminated. Our goals are:1)To engage more Ocean Scientists in high quality education and outreach opportunities provided by the COSEE Network, 2) To deliver high quality Ocean Science instructional materials to a diverse audience in large urban school districts, especially in non-coastal states, and 3) To promote Ocean Literacy through a network of Informal Science Education institutions and individuals. Intellectual merits of COSEE-OCEAN are to strategically strengthen the interactions between existing networks in order to catalytically utilize COSEE resources in a broader context and to gain capacity from the networks' output, COSEE-OCEAN aims to reach ALL ocean scientists, to target under-represented minority students in urban school districts, to effectively engage students in non-coastal states, and to form connections between existing educational networks. Broader impacts of this proposal include expanding the COSEE Network to include existing networks of ocean scientists (ASLO), informal educators (ASTC, CAISE), and urban educators (Lawrence Hall of Science and Boston Public Schools), which will strengthen the capacity of that overall network to deliver high quality ocean education to K-12 and public audiences. By using distance learning and working with urban school districts in non-coastal states, we will vastly broaden the reach of COSEE to include a diverse population of students who do not have opportunities to directly experience the ocean. In addition, we will link effectively with COSEE-China to extend the reach of COSEE beyond US borders.

马萨诸塞大学，美国羊水学与海洋学协会（ASLO），纽约理学院和波士顿公立学校提出了一个主题的Cosee中心，该中心将大大拓宽Cosee Network的影响。 Cose-Ocean将利用现有的社会和专业关系，通过在年度ASLO会议上为他们提供专业发展研讨会，并将其连接到Cosee Network Network Outreach活动，从而战略性地参与教育和外展活动。 Cosee-Ocean将有效利用这些现有网络来扩展和增强Cosee和主流STEM正式和非正式教育社区之间的创新，经验，教育产品，专业发展模型以及最佳实践的双向交流。我们的愿景是，在五年内，所有海洋科学家都将意识到并可以在Cosee网络内获得教育和外展机会。 Cosee网络将能够与全国STEM计划交换知识和资源；非正式教育机构将提高其解决公共海洋识字能力的能力；并且将广泛传播一种在多种非沿海城市学区实施高质量海洋课程的模型。我们的目标是：1）Cosee Network提供的高质量教育和外展机会，2）为高质量的海洋科学教学材料提供给大型城市学区的多元化受众，尤其是在非海岸国家，以及3）以通过非正式科学教育机构和个人的网络来促进海洋素养。 Intellectual merits of COSEE-OCEAN are to strategically strengthen the interactions between existing networks in order to catalytically utilize COSEE resources in a broader context and to gain capacity from the networks' output, COSEE-OCEAN aims to reach ALL ocean scientists, to target under-represented minority students in urban school districts, to effectively engage students in non-coastal states, and to form connections between existing educational networks.该提案的更广泛影响包括扩展Cosee网络，包括现有的海洋科学家网络（ASLO），非正式教育者（ASTC，Caise）和城市教育家（劳伦斯科学和波士顿公立学校），这将增强该整体网络向K-12和公众提供高质量海洋教育的能力。通过使用远程学习并与非沿海国家的城市学区合作，我们将大大拓宽Cosee的覆盖范围，包括一群没有机会直接体验海洋的学生。此外，我们将有效地与Cosee-China有效联系，以将Cosee的覆盖范围扩展到美国边界之外。
