On May 30, 2020, The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) hosted its first ever virtual Marine Science Day. The content from this event is still available for you to explore. By registering for Marine Science Day, you will have access to recorded talks, lab tours, and Q&A sessions with our faculty, students, and staff, arts, crafts, and games that can be completed at home, and much more. There is something for every age available on the platform.
As one of the largest marine research and education centers in the United States, and a global leader in coastal and estuarine science, VIMS is focused on studying the challenges faced by coastal communities around the world. Our scientists research harmful algal blooms, underwater grasses, sea level rise, pollution, sharks, oysters, shellfish aquaculture, and everything in between.
