We love getting messages from teachers after their sail!

This one especially resonates, as it reinforces our belief that providing students access to the ocean and interactive learning experiences focused on marine science will foster a life-long passion for the ocean and caring for the creatures that call it home.

The Oceanic Society Conservation Scholars program provided the sponsorship to make this field trip possible for Loma Verde Elementary Third graders to experience 3 hours of on-the-water programming:  Plankton, Marine Mammals, Knots and Navigation.

“Thank you so much for having our Loma Verde third graders, it was such a treat and special day for all the kids (and chaperones!) I do art with the class once or twice a month and today we drew different types of plankton / talked about plankton. It was wonderful. Thank you for all that you do to foster a love and interest in science and nature.”  Lorena Rosales Boyle, 3rd grade teacher at Loma Verde Elementary, Novato, CA
