OIMB serves as a hub for marine research on the Oregon Coast, with resources for the public, the scientific community, and K-12 educators.
Explore Marine Life
As the public outreach center of OIMB, the Charleston Marine Life Center highlights the diversity of marine life off Oregon’s coast and university research. The center offers public hours and both K-12 and public programming.
Teach Your Students about Marine Biology
Our OIMB graduate students have developed marine biology lesson plans for students in grades K-6 as part of our Graduates in K-12 Education Project. We also offer a robust ocean education toolkit for educators, with photos, videos, additional lessons, and more.
