Background:
The International SeaKeepers Society's DISCOVERY Yacht Program is our foremost initiative in accomplishing our mission and goals. Within the program, Educational Outreach is focused on working closely with marine educators and other non-profits to provide classrooms and small groups with local marine biology field trips, and also have online resources available for classes that are unable to travel. The goal of our resources is to provide fun, interesting ways to engage the next generation in environmental conservation.
To host "floating classrooms" our programming team engages with yacht/boat owners or marine industry businesses to donate time aboard their vessels and determine the appropriate type of participant group and outreach content, as necessary. Increasingly, an emphasis on green boating practices and highlighting emerging technologies that transition vessels from motor yachts to cleaner energy sources are included as part of the presentations.
