COAST Summer Internships Photo Gallery

 

​​Since 2011, COAST has partnered with State agencies, non-profit organizations and industry to provide paid summer internships for continuing CSU undergraduate and graduate students. Interns work side-by-side with scientists on current research projects in both field and laboratory settings throughout California. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience and learn technical skills while working with professional marine scientists and field biologists.
