Registration is now open for a virtual session of our Marine Naturalist Program created just for K-12 teachers! This dynamic and high quality program will run August 23 - August 27. The objective is to provide a learning experience that enhances your knowledge and classroom lessons. The program highlights the ecology, current status and conservation of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales and other local marine species as well as aspects of the Salish Sea. The course includes presentations on cetaceans, other marine mammals, birds, intertidal invertebrates, geology, and more such as marine conservation. Faculty includes professionals, experts and researchers. These will be full days, running mostly from 9 am-5 pm Pacific Time. However, we know that not everyone will be able to attend "live." Have no fear! Presentations will be recorded and available to view for up to a year. Thanks to a NOAA grant, this program is FREE for k-12 teachers to participate
