MarineQuest, the official marine science outreach program for UNCW, the Watson College of Education and the Center for Marine Science, invites youth to discover the world of modern marine science while exploring beautiful coastal habitats with their summer camps.

Participants will have the opportunity to conduct field-based scientific investigations at the marsh, beach, fouling docks and/or on a research vessel; develop tools to become a modern marine scientist while having fun kayaking, snorkeling or boogie boarding while developing leadership potential through engaging in coastal service projects.
