Boston University Marine Program

Your support for the BU Marine Program transforms the lives of our students. Donations on Giving Day are reserved for increasing support for undergraduate research and experiential learning. Your gift provides scholarships, funding for research supplies and publications, conference travel awards, and much more!

This year, you can help us enhance our New England and Belize field courses. Each year, the BU Marine Program sends 60+ students to field sites all over New England, doing oceanographic surveys in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, scientific diving in Cape Ann, investigating marine geology in Acadia National Park, exploring the marine-urban interface in Boston, sampling seagrass meadows on Nantucket, and getting muddy at the Plum Island Long Term Ecological Research site. Further, we send all the students to Belize, where they learn first-hand about being a field scientist and conduct research at Calabash Caye Field Station on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Your donation will help to make sure that these courses continue to provide cutting-edge experience and transform the lives of every BUMP student.
