Save a whale and learn to sail

Using the world’s rarest whales as a focusing lens you’ll learn how scientific research, the law, ecology, art and activism work together to save a species.  While you’re at it, learn the ropes of sailing on the historic boat Orion.  

Class will be held onboard Orion spending most of each day sailing, there will be assigned reading and a few guest lectures and film screenings to attend remotely other times in the week.

Shake a Reef

Reefing your sails is what a sailor does for stormy unpredictable times.  Shaking a reef is what you do when the weather clears, and you want to start putting some miles under you keel.   Created to re-ignite the passion and energize students into career pathways, this voyage will provide students with the skills, confidence and passion to create the career they imagined before the pandemic.  

 

Students will be learning science communication skills producing a podcast and series of short videos while we research the problems facing the Salish Sea and North Pacific and how people are creating novel and innovative solutions.
