Knauss legislative fellowships in Congress help build careers — and they're fun and educational. See our video and fact sheet for details.
The Maryland Sea Grant bookstore is closed from December 10 to January 3.
Undergraduate Multimedia Internship
Maryland Sea Grant periodically offers internship opportunities with our communications team for students interested in working in the field of science communication. These internships may focus on science writing and editing, social media, photography, and video work.
There are no internships available at this time, but please check out our summer Community Engaged Internship program, which includes science outreach and communication training opportunities.

Featured Research Project
Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
