Its goals are to promote science literacy and to encourage interest and life long learning of the marine sciences, especially for minority students. In addition, the program strives to instill in the students an understanding of marine science careers and requirements. The two online activities provide background information and live views of Garibaldi fish and kelp. The section about the Garibaldi fish emphasizes the importance of courtship displays and territory size in the female selecting mates. In the other interactive activity, students are asked to identify pictures of animals that eat kelp.
