Organized by Students Explore Aquatic Sciences (SEAS), the event showcases the breadth of aquatic science taking place at the University of Washington and in the Puget Sound region with partner organizations. Attendees get a chance to get up close and personal with aquatic science to learn more about our watery world—both locally and globally.
