Ocean Research Environmental
Studies Program
For the Educator
The
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement is committed to working with America’s
educators to improve access to real world ocean science and increasing
interest in and understanding of our marine and coastal environments.
Through the
BOEMRE Ocean Science
publication, you can read about the latest exciting discoveries.
As the
Department’s offshore energy and minerals resource manager, BOEMRE is
working to:
 |
Promote an understanding
of the role BOEMRE plays in identifying, recovering, and regulating
America’s offshore energy and other mineral resources.
|
|
|
Make available to teachers the wealth of geologic, engineering,
environmental, and economic data acquired by the BOEMRE in order to
safely obtain and manage these ocean resources.
|
|
|
Promote an understanding of how America’s offshore public lands play
a role in meeting the Nation’s energy needs and how it may play a
role in meeting these needs in the future.
|
|
|
Provide career role models and support in the areas of science and
math. The BOEMRE’s work in science education includes curriculum
development, student internships, classroom presentations, teacher
workshops, educational events, collaborative partnerships, and field
trips for students and educators. |
