INSTRUCTOR JOB DESCRIPTION
NHMI, a non-profit scientific educational organization, offers programs in marine environmental education to school groups to increase their understanding and knowledge of the ocean and natural ecosystems. Its location at Seacamp on Big Pine Key is surrounded by the diverse tropical communities of the Lower Florida Keys.
Programs for elementary and middle school groups are designed to awaken in youths an awareness of natural features on land and in the sea. Programs for high school groups allow students to observe the structure and dynamics of natural communities in a variety of habitats.

Through lecture, laboratory, and field exercises, students participate in the study of: coral reefs; carbonate rock environments; nearshore communities of sponge flats, seagrass meadows and mixed algae; mangroves; pinelands; and hardwood hammocks.
