Centers for Ocean Science Education Excellence (COSEE) - A network of seven regional centers that act locally and regionally. Its goals are to to promote the development of effective partnerships between research scientists and educators, to disseminate effective ocean sciences programs and best practices, and to promote a vision of ocean education in order to create a more scientifically literate workforce and citizenry.
Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) - DLESE is an online clearinghouse of earth science education materials for all levels. Here, you'll find peer-reviewed K-12 and undergraduate resources, student-friendly access to the data, simulations & modeling, and new approaches to teaching and learning about the Earth system.
JASON Project - An educational project begun by Dr. Robert D. Ballard (discoverer of the wreck of the RMS Titanic) dedicated to enabling teachers and students all over the world to take part in global explorations using advanced interactive telecommunications.

National Marine Sanctuaries Teacher Programs - The National Marine Sanctuary Program aims to provide teachers with resources and training to support ocean literacy in America's classrooms. "Everything is here under one roof; lesson plans, exciting activities for students, possible research investigations, and background information for teachers." Mellie, Teacher grades 4&5
Project YOTO Drifters - Use data from ocean drifting buoys to integrate ocean science into your classroom science and math instruction, includes suggested educational activities and curriculum materials.
Project Oceanography - Marine science education program consisting of weekly live television broadcasts designed to enhance science education in middle schools.
National Ocean Sciences Bowl - National competition for high schools on topics related to the study of the oceans.
JCNERR Education Resources for K-12 Educators - Professional development program at Rutgers University's Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences to help K-12 educators bring marine science activities into the classroom.
The GLOBE Project - Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the global environment.
Neptune - A new project to establish a network of underwater observatories within the depths of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, Neptune will enable researchers, as well as shore-based learners of all ages, to participate in detailed studies and experiments on a wide area of seafloor and ocean for decades rather than just hours or days.
