Once a MASTie….took some rising seniors (Cienna and Andrew) to help monitor horseshoe crab nests with @SaveCoastalWild this evening and ran into some alum. Abby and Jake (‘24) and Jan (‘16). And yes that is @MAST_SandyHook in the background.

Congrats @MAST_SandyHook class of 2025

Another field trip to AMNH in the bag.

Senior Jack R. fishing for his project ran into his dad fishing too! Check out Jersey Devil Charters.

Junior Cassara Y gets third at the NJ academy of science and is invited to the national academy of science. Go Cassara!

Senior Elena is all set for NJ Academy of Science let’s go!!!

Blue Sea looking good

And senior Jack snags a 35” striper on this little “noodle” rod. Might be a blue sea record.

Fluking for research projects on a beautiful day. Vika got the second fish of the day but it was biggest so far.

Teacher appreciation day has been awesome! PTSA covering duties, breakfast on Monday, principal got us lunch yesterday and Senior Ciara T made us cookies. Feeling the love! Thank you

Junior Grace H on her daily ride (RV Blue Sea) pointing at her weekend ride (Prowler IV). Now if only the fish would cooperate.

I love take your kids to work day! Art and science courtesy Julia P!

Great day for a boat trip ! Junior Piper D caught a big male clear nose skate which is part of her senior project looking at cartilaginous fish diversity in the bay. #Research #classof2026

Happy belated earth day post. On earth the seniors in research decided to pick up all the trash on and around campus. Big haul and a lot of work. Way to go

The MAST family lost someone special this week. Breege Boyer (“08) was a marine scientist and a beautiful person inside and out. She was a real life mermaid and we will miss her everyday. Just keep swimming Breege

So much fun at the Jersey Shore Science Fair this year. My juniors came, saw and spoke some science! Congrats to Cassara and Nick for fourth place and to Arjun, John and Annabel for some great presentations!!

So much fun bringing the 6th graders from @HopeacademyAP to visit the seals! Thank you to seal team seniors (Liv D, Liv P and Russ K), and the other volunteers. Special thanks to Sara from @SaveCoastalWild and none of this could be possible with out support from @SJ_Program

Seals and seniors savoring that sixty degree and sunshiny day! How’s that for some alliteration?

Seals, seniors, sampling and sand. How’s that for some alliteration? I should confess there were also juniors but it was a beautiful day.#marinescience #ItsAlwaysFieldSeasonIfYouTryHardEnough #seals

Seniors Jack R, Vika T and Liv P spent the morning with one of the scientists at the NOAA lab measuring and sorting Black Sea Bass for Jack’s senior project. The seniors got a unique opportunity and learned a lot in the meantime. Thanks @NOAAFish_NEFSC !!
