High School Marine Science Internships.

These 80-hour internships serve teenagers interested in exploring careers in marine science, aquarium management, and environmental education. The GMHC Sea Pocket Lab component provides students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the plants and animals that inhabit Cape Ann waters and to develop their ability to effectively communicate that information to visitors of all ages. Gloucester High School awards academic credit for the successful completion of these internships.

In the MIT Sea Grant Hatchery and Education Center interns monitor the population and health of the live feed (rotifers and brine shrimp), feed and clean the live feed, maintain systems, measure and weigh fish, monitor the development of larval fish via microscope, video and film, and conduct water quality testing.
