The Sonoran Desert Waters Institute began its education mission shortly after its inception. While still in its facility development phase, the Sonoran Sea Aquarium has been providing marine education to school children in the Tucson area since 1996. Education about biodiversity and sustainability is the focal point of the Aquarium's outreach efforts. The overwhelming on-going success of its Education and Outreach Program is a constant reminder of the need for and want of marine education in the region.

El Acuario del Mar de Sonora comenzó su misión de educación poco después de su comienzo. Aunque todavía se encuentra en su fase de desarrollo de la facilidad, el Acuario del Mar de Sonora ha estado proporcionando educación marina a niños en escuelas del área de Tucson desde 1996. La educación acerca de la biodiversidad y sostenibilidad es el punto focal de los esfuerzos de alcance del Acuario. El éxito abrumador que sigue teniendo el Programa de Educación y Alcance es un recordatorio constante de la necesidad y deseo de la educación marina en la región.
