Collaborators
Foss Waterway Seaport partners with outstanding organizations for essential expertise in K-12 and higher education standards, environmental and marine science, maritime history and career options.
Marine & Environmental Science
Environmental sustainability is an urgent priority in today’s education system. In 2009 Foss Waterway Seaport convened an Advisory Group of Puget Sound K-20 educators, curriculum advisors and environmental stewardship organizations to guide plans for our new Learning Laboratory and our vision for community-based education.
We continue to refine and update our curriculum and our plans for expanded educational offerings in the "new" Seaport by partnering with the region's outstanding educators.
