A Community-Oriented, Student-Run Organization

Founded in 2002, MACS engages in public outreach events, philanthropy, and fundraisers. Our outreach events are held at several community organizations, including the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, to name a few.  Outreach events include squid dissections, shark anatomy, intertidal education, plastic pollution, and sustainable fishing. We are always in the process of adding new exciting stations. 

 

At the University of Arizona, we participate in the annual Tucson Festival of Books, Spring Fling, Camp Wildcat, U of A Food Day, Wildcat World Fair, Earth Day, and many more.  We have partnered with other conservation organizations such as CEDO Intercultural, Viva Vaquita, Seafood Watch, and the Center for Biological Diversity, to provide exceptional, educational outreach events in the Tucson community.​

 

Fundraising

Another important aspect of our organization is fundraising. Fundraising helps our organization pay for club expenses and donate to other organizations. It also allows us to send some of our members on trips out of state.
