It’s true: there are plenty of fish in the sea. A new service called seaHarmony<\/a> matches lovers of the scientific method in different fields of marine research with classroom educators, managers and community groups to help foster new collaborations.<\/p>\n

Marine scientists log into the webpage and create a profile detailing their field of research, availability and the level of commitment they’re willing to put into education activities or collaboration. Similarly, educators or resource managers also make a profile indicating their science interests, age\/grade level of their audience and what kind collaboration they might want with a scientist. Then, seaHarmony matches scientists with educators and managers that have similar interests in topics and levels of participation, facilitating interactions with a built-in messaging system and fostering innovative and fulfilling partnerships.<\/p>\n

A UH<\/abbr> marine science research professor added, “I think it’s a great way to find opportunities and put people together.” With a little bit of technology and a lot of community involvement, the seaHarmony site promises to be a big success for the field of marine science.<\/p>\n
