The marine and coastal environments of the Pacific Northwest are a pristine and important resource for the nation. For more than four decades, the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) has conducted research and provided educational opportunities for students and life-long learners of all ages to promote the conservation of these environments and their natural resources. During that time, HMSC has grown into the largest marine laboratory in the Pacific Northwest, and has hosted millions of visitors to its public education facilities. In addition to Oregon State University and our federal and state agency partners, many in the coastal and regional community support HMSC's mission of research, education, and outreach in marine sciences through collaborative partnerships.

The Friends of Hatfield Marine Science Center support HMSC as donors and volunteers. This membership organization provides vital assistance that enables HMSC to educate the public about cutting edge marine science, and promote responsible stewardship of our marine resources through outreach and education.
