“Just a quick note to say thank you so, so much to Tom Petersen of DISCOVERY Yacht Valkyrie, for coming all the way to our location and for the incredible support on an amazing platform. We got a lot of great science done and enabled a lot of young people to learn new things at the same time. Hugely appreciated and we hope just the start of ongoing partnerships. And thanks so much Tony as well for coming all the way out and for setting this up with us – go SeaKeepers!!!”

“We wanted to say thank you so much for helping make last Friday happen. It gave us great baseline coordinates and it went so smoothly!”

“We had an amazing and productive time and it would not have been possible without Larry and his generosity. The platform worked very well, he was an amazing Captain, and really allowed us to increase the scope and opportunity for our research. SeaKeepers is a fantastic program that I hope others can utilize, I know that we would be very keen to work with other folks in the area that are interested in helping to support and participate in our marine mammal research.”

“We had such a fantastic experience with the E Cruz this past year and it really augmented our ability to do our research.  We could not be more grateful. “

“This [Teacher Workshop] trip exceeded my expectations and will likely be remembered as the best thing I got to do as a teacher. I learned things that I will include in this upcoming year’s lessons, I made great connections with other Georgia educators, and I have more awareness about pollution that is destroying our waterways. I have already recommended the workshop to other teachers in Georgia.”

“This was an AMAZING experience. Toni answered all our questions and more. All the presenters, photographers, videographers, etc. were exceptional. Bailey Dawson from GA aquarium was an excellent resource for finding resources and his behind-the-scenes tour at the aquarium was very insightful. Everyone’s understanding of what teachers are dealing with in the classroom was helpful to making this not only an educational experience, but also a fun experience. I am grateful for the other teachers who attended as they will be excellent resources in the future as well. THANK YOU FOR SELECTING ME!”

I walked away with all of my goals for this PD exceeded. Thank you so much Bailey, Toni, Lillian, and the whole SeaKeepers and Georgia Aquarium team! They were very approachable, helpful, kind, and made this PD amazing.”

“Blessed and grateful for this [Teacher] Workshop. A life memory I will cherish for all the years to come! Reconnecting our cohort with SK/GA on a semiannual basis may be the most significant next steps for making this workshop a true catalyst for ensuring we collaborate effectively and resourcefully towards inspiring and equipping our 11-17 year old students for the challenges our planet faces – environmental/ecological/anthropogenic extinction/biodiversity ~ into the foreseeable future.”

“[The Teacher Workshop] was an amazing, well-organized PD. I learned many new things and had fun doing it. Isn’t that what we want for our students?! Toni’s passion and excitement for marine conservation is contagious. It was real!! I could see it in every activity we did and her follow up lessons!! This cohort was amazing!!”
