Internships
A core component of Ocean Science Trust’s (OST) founding legislation (CORSA, 2000) is to support graduate level education and encourage graduate education programs in management-oriented ocean resource science in public and private universities and colleges in California. One way in which we advance this is by serving as a host for graduate-level interns. OST is dedicated to providing immersive on-the-job non-profit career training in marine science and policy, mentorship, and experience working across a range of ocean and coastal issues in support of state goals and priorities for our ocean and coast.
