Presently, a new partnership between the Hatteras Village Civic Association and the Hatteras Island Ocean Center exists. This commitment to manage the facility shows the community support for the Ocean Center and also its mission. We believe the unique learning opportunities together with the focus on resources in beautiful Hatteras Village will result in sustaining our resources for the future.  

• Partner with the local community resulting in collaboration with organizations and schools in science projects and community outreach events.
