The Northwest Aquatic and Marine Educators (NAME) is a “family” of educators passionate about oceans and watersheds. We believe in the magic of the world of water and its ability to facilitate learning.

Our Goals...

~ Encourage professional growth by offering quality

workshops, conferences, field experiences, and in-

services in the Pacific Northwest;

~ Share information and education materials focused

on marine and aquatic environments and issues;

~ Promote the magic of water as a catalyst for learning.

Affiliated with the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), NMEA includes educators from pre-K through 12 classrooms, universities, aquariums, science centers, marine reserves and laboratories, businesses, agencies, and more!
