SeaQuest is our after-school, marine science enrichment program for middleschool kids in under-served coastal communities.
Imagine growing up a few blocks from the the ocean or bay without ever having been fishing or shell collecting. Imagine not knowing what a jellyfish is—or a horseshoe crab. This is the reality for many kids who live in New Jersey’s urban coastal communities.
To remedy this situation, we launched SeaQuest, our after-school, marine science enrichment program for middleschool kids in under-served coastal communities. SeaQuest immerses students in a broad range of marine and environmental science concepts and career choices. The field-based learning forges a relationship between kids and the coast. It impresses upon them that they live in a special place, and teaches them that the shore is part of their personal heritage and responsibility.
SeaQuest is currently being offered in Red Bank Middle School, Bolger Middle School in Keansburg, Long Branch Middle School, and Sisters Academy in Asbury Park. This program is funded by the Stone Foundation and the Borden Foundation. To learn more or to see if your school might be eligible for SeaQuest classes please contact [email protected]g.
