ORGANIZATIONAL Young Lives Transformed Through Science Mentoring

在过去十年中，海洋探索研究所一直在增强来自城市地区的不同青年的能力，以保护我们的海洋和自然环境，改善我们社区的健康，提高我们的生活质量。 海洋探索研究所是圣地亚哥地区唯一一个利用海洋作为教育工具的非营利组织，利用年轻人对海洋的本能吸引力，建立对我们星球特征的认识。 海洋探索研究所领导了一系列将教育、科学研究和环境管理相结合的举措。 目前，这些举措每年惠及4 500多名低收入学生和社区成员。 海洋探索研究所的所有节目都是免费提供的。

For the past decade, Ocean Discovery Institute has been empowering diverse youth from an urban district to protect our oceans and natural environment, improve the health of our communities and strengthen our quality of life. Ocean Discovery Institute is the only non-profit in the San Diego region using the ocean as an educational tool to capitalize on young people's instinctive attraction to the sea and build knowledge of our planet's defining feature. Ocean Discovery Institute leads a series of initiatives that incorporate education, scientific research and environmental stewardship. Currently these initiatives reach over 4,500 low-income students and community members each year. All of Ocean Discovery Institute's programming is provided tuition-free.
