Source to Sea is an immersive instructor training that prepares educators to lead students on a powerful journey from their local stream to the global ocean with a complete course called Source to Sea. Through a blend of engaging online learning and multi-day, hands-on field experiences, participants build real skills in stream ecology, chemistry, and biology while learning how to guide safe, meaningful outdoor investigations. Educators leave confident in teaching students how to assess stream health, understand human impacts on water quality, and take action to protect freshwater ecosystems.

Designed for formal, nonformal, and PADI educators alike, this training provides:

  • Access to the online course.
  • Source to Sea curriculum and teaching materials.
  • Invaluable experience with experts in the field.
  • Continuous access to exclusive online resources after program completion.

This training will allow you to immediately bring a polished, action-focused course to your school or program. Using the Discover · Connect · Protect model, instructors empower learners to explore watershed-to-ocean connections, participate in citizen science, and adopt a stream of their own, creating a ripple effect that builds lifelong environmental stewardship in communities around the world.
