Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal or environmental science? I invite you to check out the Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program. We bring upper-level undergraduate students to the

Chesapeake Bay to conduct individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

During this 12-week program (May 21–August 13), each student will work with a science mentor on an individual research project at one of two marine labs located on Chesapeake Bay: the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s* (UMCES) Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, Maryland, or its Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, Maryland.

Research Areas Include:

- benthic environment
