The Center for Ocean Solutions is collaborating with seven Monterey Bay area academic campuses—CSU Monterey Bay, Hopkins Marine Station, Monterey Institute of International Studies, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Naval Postgraduate School, Stanford University, and UC Santa Cruz—to enhance graduate marine education. The inter-institutional activities create opportunities for students to apply their training to ocean challenges and engage in real world problem-solving and policy recommendations. Seminars, workshops, and courses draw heavily on cases and research from the Monterey Bay area. We aim to provide students with multiple opportunities to build connections and to extend their network to encompass the broader academic community of our seven institutions.

The design of the educational activities support the following principles:
 * Be relevant to policy / society
 * Tap existing expertise at the institutions
 * Be integrative (provide something that no one institution can do on its own)
 * Be interdisciplinary
 * Provide value to the Monterey Bay area but be internationally applicable as well
 * Explore cutting-edge topics
