Gifts to School for Marine Science & Technology Greatest Needs contribute to...
Today, we advance innovations in marine science.
Located at the nation’s #1 fishing port, the School for Marine Science & Technology (SMAST) prepares the next generation of marine scientists to tackle the challenges that will shape the future of our ecosystem. Through extensive partnerships with the offshore wind and local fishing industries, SMAST’s graduate students and faculty engage in large-scale research projects, ranging from biogeochemical cycling and coastal ecosystem restoration to marine renewable energy and windfarm development. Their groundbreaking work is advancing marine science and technology, strengthening the SouthCoast’s Blue Economy, and providing innovative solutions to the critical challenges facing our coastal environments.
During UMass Dartmouth’s day of giving, UMassD Gives, your support of SMAST’s greatest needs allows them to invest in the priorities that help drive policy change, advance science and innovation, and train the next generation of scientists who will solve critical threats to our ecosystem.
Extraordinary is what we do at UMass Dartmouth, and today, you can be a part of it!
