Ocean science students build career connections at TIDES Conference
Will Shenton
The “blue economy” is booming. From monitoring and mitigating climate change to bolstering coastal economies, there are more opportunities than ever for ocean science students to build meaningful careers in the field. That’s why on April 23, 138 students, industry professionals and researchers gathered at the University of Washington’s South Campus Center for the first-ever TIDES Conference, a free event to connect ocean science students with marine technology careers in Seattle and beyond.
