Sanctuary
Summits
Educators have long known
that to involve students as problem-solvers is a
powerful educational tool. Examining issues
first-hand and being exposed to role models can
inspire and motivate students to develop research
skills and presentation techniques. These skills
are necessary to become active decision-makers -
and ultimately, the scientists, resource managers
and leaders of tomorrow.

The first summit of
this year was held at the Cordell Bank
National Marine Sanctuary. All of the
summits have been a great
success!
|
Sanctuary Summits are half-day
interactive sessions designed to bring high school
students and teachers together with ocean experts
to discuss the Sustainable Seas Expeditions at the
national marine sanctuaries. It is also a place to
discuss and launch student projects or research
proposals relating to the Sustainable Seas
Expeditions.
Although not all of the
sanctuaries offer a summit, we invite everyone to
look through these pages for inspiration on how
young people are taking on the challenge of
becoming the new generation of ocean citizens. Come
and see what they have to say and, more
importantly, what they are doing about directing
ocean exploration and finding solutions to our
oceans' problems.
