MARINE SCIENCE BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Turn the Gulf Coast Into an Outdoor Science Classroom
Give students the opportunity to experience marine science where it happens. Heal The Sea brings school and homeschool groups onto the coastal waters of Southwest Florida for hands-on learning aboard a Coast Guard-certified sailing vessel.
Students become Marine Biologists in Training as they observe coastal ecosystems, record discoveries in field journals, develop questions and hypotheses, collect data, and explore marine biology through direct experience.
Hands-On Marine Science
Students move beyond textbook learning by observing and investigating the coastal environment firsthand.
Scientific Observation
Students practice careful observation as they examine ecosystems, marine life, and environmental conditions.
Field Journals
Students document observations, questions, hypotheses, and discoveries as part of the scientific process.
Data Collection
Students gather and record information while learning how scientists investigate the natural world.
Coastal Ecology
Students explore the relationships between marine organisms, habitats, and Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems.
