Conservation Engagement
SEA collaborates with other marine science organizations and programs to engage community members as fundamental stewards of the natural environment. SEA’s role is to be an advocate for protecting marine life before wildlife and habitats needs to be rescued, rehabilitated. Programs include marine mammal stranding training, collaborations with The Suquamish Tribe shellfish program, invasive green crab training and beach naturalist collaborations. Opportunities will be posted on social media and this website. Check back to learn more!
