Carolina Ocean Studies; Coastal Field Trips and Outdoor Education

Founded in 1992, Carolina Ocean Studies has shared the wonder of the Carolina coast with thousands of children and adults through coastal field trips. We take groups to magnificent barrier islands and ocean reefs for thrilling environmental education. The sea's wonders are revealed when participants go fishing, crabbing, combing for seashells, and exploring remote beaches. We believe that through outdoor education, students will have a better appreciation for our state's marine environments.
