Marine Science Programs and Resources for Classrooms

The Atlantic Science Enterprise Centre (ASEC) is currently offering hands-on science programs on aquatic sciences and research. ASEC is a science hub in Moncton that focuses on understanding, protecting and sustaining freshwater and coastal ecosystems. Programs provide students a hands-on learning experience with real scientific equipment to explore aquatic and marine environments.

All programs are created to satisfy Sustainable Development Goals of the New Brunswick curriculum and meet one or more specific curriculum outcomes. All programs are available in both English and French and are currently offered free of charge.
