The Seattle Community College District VI in partnership with the Ocean Inquiry Project will host an REU Site for Marine Science Research in Puget Sound for Community College STEM Students. This three-year project will support eight community college STEM majors annually from a variety of disciplines. Students will be selected from 16 community colleges in the Puget Sound region and will participate over the course of a year. This regional and year-long approach was designed to provide research opportunities to students who have few other opportunities to participate in research. Participants will engage in university-level in-situ marine science research contributing to the understanding and preservation of Puget Sound.The PI's, Ann Murkowski (faculty at North Seattle Community College) and Co-PI Marina Halverson (faculty at Seattle Central Community College) are partners on this project and together will provide the intellectual, administrative and mentoring leadership for the project. The eight students will be working in pairs, with two pairs assigned to each PI. The Seattle Community College District will serve as the fiscal lead. Central and North will provide lab space and computer support for lab processing and analysis. The Seattle Maritime Academy (SMA) (a division of Central) will provide the ship(s) and crew for cruises. Senior Personnel, Fritz Stahr and the Ocean Inquiry Project (OIP), will organize the cruises, provide instructors for the cruises, and provide any needed equipment and technical assistance for data collection. Faculty from the University of Washington's, School of Oceanography and scientists from King County Metro's Environmental Lab will be research mentors to the students.

西雅图社区学院第六区将与海洋调查项目合作，在普吉特湾为社区学院STEM学生主办一个REU海洋科学研究网站。这个为期三年的项目每年将支持来自不同学科的八名社区大学STEM专业的学生。学生将从普吉特湾地区的16所社区大学中挑选出来，参加为期一年的课程。这种地区性的为期一年的方法旨在为几乎没有其他参与研究机会的学生提供研究机会。参与者将参与大学级别的现场海洋科学研究，为了解和保护普吉特湾做出贡献。PI、Ann Murkowski(北西雅图社区学院教师)和共同Pi Marina Halverson(西雅图中央社区学院教师)是该项目的合作伙伴，共同为该项目提供智力、行政和指导领导。这八名学生将两人一组，每个PI分配两对。西雅图社区学院学区将作为财政主导。中部和北部将为实验室处理和分析提供实验室空间和计算机支持。西雅图海事学院(中环的一个部门)将为这艘船(S)和船员提供巡航。高级人员Fritz Stahr和海洋调查项目(OIP)将组织巡航，为巡航提供教官，并提供收集数据所需的任何设备和技术援助。来自华盛顿大学、海洋学院的教职员工和金县地铁环境实验室的科学家将成为学生的研究导师。
