Salish Sea Expeditions

Salish Sea Expeditions was founded in 1994 with a mission to inspire a passion for exploring, understanding, and respecting the marine environment through hands-on scientific inquiry on Puget Sound. Our multi-day programs aboard a 61’ sailing vessel on Puget Sound target 5th-12th grade student groups, such as classrooms and their teachers, and combine in-class instruction. We use a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to learning, in which students are the key decision makers in their Salish learning experience. All of our programs are tailored to mesh with participants' unique interests and learning abilities. Programs are organized through our small headquarters on Bainbridge Island, Washington (accessible by ferry from Seattle). Please see www.salish.org for more information.
