Activities and Programs
Faculty and students at SDSU and the Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory are committed to sharing our scientific projects and findings with the San Diego community. We create educational and interactive activities that will help us share our love of the ocean with you.
The organization at CMIL that provides educational and outreach programs is the Marine Ecology and Biology Student Association (MEBSA). MEBSA is an academic student-run organization that strives to foster a cohesive and supportive community among SDSU students and faculty. One of the goals of MEBSA is to raise awareness about current research and conservation issues in marine science. We work to communicate these issues to the public through education and outreach activities. MEBSA endeavors to improve the academic environment at CMIL with the goal of improving the quality of research and collaboration. For more information about MEBSA please visit our website.
