Reef Check: Dive into Science Program "Youth and young adults from under-represented or tribal communities often do not have access to the ocean environment, let alone ways or opportunities to experience the ocean. While they may have an interest in marine science and the desire to explore the ocean, they often lack experience and/or training that would allow them to successfully pursue a career in marine science, or other natural sciences for that matter. This lack of access and experience creates a disadvantage when it comes to their future educational or career choices.
Extracurricular activities, training and volunteerism are now widely required for a competitive college application. Dive into Science will provide the skills and experiences necessary to create a pathway to college and careers for under-resourced youth who have a passion for conservation and the ocean."
