SEA is proud to announce the SEA Explorers program in partnership with Romberg Tiburon Center.  This Citizen Science Sailing Program connects youths with their marine environment by engaging them with hands on skills and marine observations.

Our first session, led by Wayne McIntosh and Barbara McVeigh, SEA Volunteer, taught youths aged 9-14 how to sail on the Bay, while introducing them to marine sciences with an emphasis on plankton's vital role in our oceans. Our first week-long session concluded successfully August 26: four days of full immersion sailing and a full day of samples collection and microscope observations.

The curriculum includes lessons and hands-on activities focused on:

• Zoo- and phyto-plankton
• Sea water density
• Solar stills
• Currents, Charting

Each day culminated in journaling local conditions and samples observations.
