Bayous to Beaches: This workshop for 7th-12th grade teachers explores coastal watershed habitats along an estuarine gradient by collecting environmental data including water quality, written observations, and organism trawls. The schedule includes two educational research cruises if weather permits: 1) Davis Bayou aboard the Miss Peetsy B, 2) the Pascagoula River aboard the R/V Jim Franks. Teachers focus on stewardship while considering the effects of pathogenic bacteria in the watershed. Teachers will receive stipends of $100/day, CEU support, and classroom materials. This project is sponsored by the EPA Gulf of Mexico Program.
