seaHarmony aims to connect ocean scientists and educators to provide opportunities for scientist participation in outreach, and expand community participation in science. seaHarmony is an online collaboration network connecting ocean scientists wanting to become involved in broader impact education activities, and formal or informal educators and organizations who want to bring science to their students and communities. We do this by matching members with partners based on collaboration opportunities, preferences, common interests, and availability. Ocean scientists can look for education and outreach projects with which to collaborate, and likewise ocean science educators or community groups can find scientists that are willing to give classroom or public presentations, guide student or community research, or collaborate on projects. seaHarmony uses simple algorithms to align compatibility criteria and collaboration preferences for the best possible matching of scientists and community/education/outreach partners.
