On May 1-2, 2007, a workshop was held to discuss NMFS Higher Education
Programs.  The goals of the workshop were the following:

• To develop the first comprehensive catalog of all current NOAA Fisheries higher education programs (both undergraduate and graduate programs that focus on student education and training),
• To present and discuss a wide range of effective methodologies (e.g. marketing, student selection, skills training, program
  evaluation),
• To ascertain Science Board priorities regarding higher education programs,
• To map the catalog of current higher education programs to Science Board priorities in order to identify and strategically address gaps needed to be filled in the future.

The Marine Conservation Biology - Hawaii course was included in the assessment. The final project catalog from the workshop can be downloaded here.
