Jobs & Internships

Background

Launched in 2015 by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, Expedition Blue (formerly the Cape Cod Blue Economy Project) is a regional initiative to promote and sustain a maritime-focused economy on Cape Cod, the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and southern Plymouth County. This effort builds on existing tourism industries, world-class marine research and technology cluster, and sustainable use planning dedicated to preserving our environment and quality of life. The blue economy acknowledges that the environment is our economy. It recognizes the vast role that water - both salt and fresh, plays in our everyday life, and the importance of finding a sustainable and symbiotic course for the future.
