Education Programs

"In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." – Baba Dioum
 

Education is the key to ensuring responsible decision-making by community leaders as well as regular citizens.  The Alabama Coastal Foundation is committed to providing quality, science-based information to students of all ages.  We have education programs for K-5th graders and work with middle and high school students on special projects throughout Mobile and Baldwin Counties.  Because learning can happen at any age, we also educate the South Alabama community as a whole through special projects, workshops and trainings designed to bring awareness about human impacts on the coastal environment and to design and implement tangible solutions to environmental concerns in our area.

In 2009, over 3,000 elementary school students participated in our education programs in Baldwin, Mobile, and Washington Counties.
