Lifelong Learning about Your Local Environment
Our watershed and coastline offer an endless array of lifelong learning opportunities about nature. If you are curious to know more, a good place to start is Alive in Salem Sound! These pages describe the different parts of our local ecosystem and the animals and plants that inhabit them. You can learn even more by taking advantage of the numerous public lectures, events, and resources that Salem Sound Coastwatch has to offer.
Attend Lectures
“Underwater in Salem Sound” is an annual series of public lectures offered each winter. These local lectures are presented both in-person and online. In addition, they are recorded so you can view them anytime. Many additional lectures and presentations are offered to the public throughout the year. These are announced in our newsletter and through social media postings.
Attend Volunteer Events
SSCW holds numerous volunteer events each year that offer rich lifelong learning opportunities. Among these events are training sessions and actions for hands-on learning and citizen science. You can attend events that already interest you, or you can learn more about participation in our large and active volunteer community.
Dive Deeper with Resources
We maintain a large collection of online resources about our past projects for the public and the scientific community. These resources document the collaboration between Salem Sound Coastwatch, local municipalities, and researchers over the years.
