Kachemak Bay Reserve, Alaska

Education

Education and research staff at the Kachemak Bay Research Reserve strive to provide leadership in demonstrating how science and education can improve coastal management and increase public awareness and understanding of our nation's estuaries. Locally, we provide an integrated set of education, outreach and training programs linked to our staff's research that will strengthen understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the Kachemak Bay environment.

In March 2000, the research reserve was instrumental in bringing together representatives from over 15 marine, estuarine and natural resource organizations involved in environmental education in the Kachemak Bay watershed. Twenty-five individuals came together to share their concerns and dreams for science education in this region. One outcome of this two-day forum, held at the Kasitsna Bay Lab, was the formation of an alliance of Kachemak Bay Environmental Educators.
