COASTAL MARINE ECOLOGY OF THE FLORIDA KEYS Teacher Workshop

July 26 - 31, 2009

Come spend five days in Key Largo, Florida, learning about the marine ecosystem of this fragile and unique area! Protected by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Everglades National Park, and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the waters surrounding the Florida Keys are home to a diverse array of fish and invertebrate species, not to mention dolphins and manatees. The largest coral reef in the continental USA is only a few miles away by boat.

Teachers can choose the snorkeling or SCUBA diving option for the workshop. The workshops are designed for science teachers, not the general public. You must be currently working as a science educator, formal or non formal.

SNORKELING: Price includes all field trips and instruction, meals and accommodations on site, and snorkel gear. $500 per person.

SCUBA: The SCUBA diving option is for people who are already certified, and the program fee includes all dive boat fees, rental gear, tanks and weights, and a divemaster/biologist guide on all dives. $700 per person.
