TEAMS Purposes

The Tennessee Educators of Aquatic and Marine Sciences is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to implementation of its goals. The purpose of TEAMS is to:
 

Promote aquatic and marine educational programs in order to make them more accessible to Tennessee educators.

Inform our members of new publications, educational programs,  and events that would help in their efforts to include  more aquatic and marine education in the classroom.

Make members aware of the concerns relating to our aquatic  systems, flora and fauna in Tennessee by feature articles in  the newsletter and by conference presentations.

Encourage our members to become more involved in  teaching their peers and sharing knowledge by creating a  forum where their ideas and input are welcomed and valued.

Promote environmental stewardship of our Tennessee educators and students that will have positive effects on the community.

Promote aquatic education through conferences, the  TEAMS newsletter, and workshop opportunities.
