InMER Expeditions (Integrated Marine Education and Research Expeditions) is a team of educators, policy specialists, filmmakers and scientists that has developed an integrated model of conservation designed to reach millions of people and engage them in a dialogue on pressing environmental issues. Built around the excitement and sense of discovery of a scientifically oriented expedition, the InMER model combines and integrates social marketing, public relations, policy dialogues, educational programming, outreach activities and products to achieve specific goals within a targeted audience or audiences. InMER was founded by Edward R. Cassano, a former NOAA Corps Officer and NOAA Research Vessel Captain and manager of the U.S. Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
