JSK 2026-27 Webinar 1: Miami Waterkeeper and 1000 Eyes on the Water Training

On October 21, 2026, the International SeaKeepers Society hosted the first webinar of the 2026-27 Junior SeaKeepers Program with our friends at Miami Waterkeeper. Heidi of Miami Waterkeeper’s Community Engagement Team presented the 1000 Eyes on the Water, which trained participants in the Waterkeeper program for observing and reporting pollution events. We were so thrilled to have MWK deliver this first webinar, as it truly sets the stage for the program in teaching participants the importance of keeping our Bay and other waterways clean, as well as encouraging them to be a part of the solution to pollution in South Florida and beyond. Throughout the academic year, we will build off of this webinar knowledge through coastal cleanups, floating classrooms, workshops, and our final research projects, which will aim to engage students in understanding and proposing solutions to local and global marine conservation problems. We give a huge thank you to Heidi and the rest of the Miami Waterkeeper Community Engagement Team for joining us and answering plenty of our Junior SeaKeepers’ questions. We look forward to working with them again in the near future!
We are so thrilled to welcome this year’s cohort of Junior SeaKeepers and cannot wait to see how they grow as ocean conservation advocates and young scientists as a part of our year-long program. Welcome 2025-26 Junior SeaKeepers!
