The Marine Awareness and Conservation Society (MACS) is a student organized club at the University of Arizona. We are devoted to promoting the conservation and protection of marine life and its oceans through education and volunteering for eco-friendly activities. A main purpose of MACS is to promote the education of local residents through community outreach programs that teach children the importance of marine ecosystems. Travel plans for scuba diving, tide pooling, and snorkeling are underway, as well as beach cleanups in the US and Mexico. During MACS meetings, teachers and professionals are asked to present their work to the group as an educational experience. MACS would like to provide members with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in marine science, while making friends and meeting experts within the marine science field.

Fall Semester 2011: We meet every Tuesday at 6:00pm in Koffler room 511.
