A marine science summer program developed by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) is celebrating 10 years of serving Hawaiʻi’s high school students and recent graduates. Since its inception in 2013, the Research Experiences in Marine Science (REMS) program has increased access to marine science fields for about 150 participants, of which approximately 60 have continued on to higher education. This year’s program ran from June 5–July 14.
“My experience at REMS has opened my [prospects] for what I want to do in the future, I now have another option and opportunity,” said Kaissen Poepoe, 2023 REMS student and rising junior at Waiʻanae High School.
