Marine Docent Program
Can you imagine sailing Great Bay on the University's research
vessel, the Gulf Challenger? Are you intrigued by tidepool
critters? Do you want to help others learn to conserve the
marine and coastal environments? If these questions pique
your interest, then you may want to become a UNH Marine Docent,
a community outreach volunteer sponsored by the UNH's Sea
Grant and Cooperative Extension program. Docents are educated
by university faculty, extension educators, and other experts
in the marine field to present programs and tours for students,
teachers, and the general public on various ocean topics.
No prior marine experience is necessary—just interest, dedication
and a willingness to learn. Become involved in the marine
world for six to 10 hours a week. Training begins in early
September each year. To apply to the Marine Docent Program
or to arrange a Sea Trek program for your group, contact Barbara
