NESS in a seashell, er, nutshell:

1. NESS makes getting on the water incredibly easy and affordable. NESS is open to the community and owns lots of different types of boats, so there's no need to be a member of a private club or own your own boat to have access to the ocean.

2. Scholarships open the ocean to everyone, regardless of financial means.

3. Extensive program offerings allow all to feel welcome and fulfilled. Each program area – adventure sports, marine science, powerboating, and sailing – offers multiple ways to explore our local marine environment through fun, engaging classes that enforce ocean literacy principles.

4. Dedicated, experienced adventure educators inspire and guide inquisitive minds.

5. Convenient locations allow access to Long Island Sound's complex marine ecosystems.

6. Land-based lab facilities and aquaria offer platforms for hands-on research and experiments.

7. Strategic partnerships and outreach efforts mean NESS programs help even more students build skills they can use throughout their lives.

As an ocean adventure nonprofit, NESS is a fantastic place to learn, have fun, and build confidence, teamwork and leadership skills. We encourage you to find out more, sign up for classes, and contact us if you’re interested in supporting NESS. Thank you, and we’ll see you out on the water!
