Our Marine Science Education Program
The Marine Science Education program aboard the Snow Goose services over 1200 students annually. With support from NOAA, Nooksack Enhancement Association, private donors, public school funds, and Alaska revenue we are able to cover many costs. However, we are always seeking funds to grow and expand the program. Any donation provided goes directly towards involving more classrooms, student scholarships, and/or student research equipment.
If you would like to support our program and vision of stewardship, please contact the Snow Goose and we will respond immediately.
