Introduction

The Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies (PCCS) has been providing award winning marine education programs since 1976, to promote stewardship, raise awareness and increase understanding of marine and coastal environments through educational programs.

PCCS marine education is embarking on an exciting, new schedule of programs designed for a broad spectrum of audiences and ages, including students and the general public.  Programs will incorporate cutting edge research of PCCS scientists, as well as an introduction to the natural history of coastal and marine environments of Cape Cod.  Beginning this spring, PCCS will offer a series of lectures and field trips, February and April vacation children's programs for ages 8-12, as well as an adult education program through Nauset Schools on marine wildlife identification.  PCCS will continue our popular seasonal lecture series and natural history field walks throughout the spring, as well as a number of special events.

PCCS marine education seeks to develop partnerships with local schools to develop hands-on classroom activities and field visits.  Visiting school programs may be interested in our new scientific and natural history exploration programs, as well as other unique field experiences.  PCCS will design an educational program using our scientific expertise. Please contact us for pricing information.
