Teachers on the Estuary
SC Seafood Sensation - June 12-13, 2025
Every summer we offer a workshop for teachers using the estuary as our classroom. The theme of this year’s TOTE is SC Seafood Sensation, tying in the research and biology of shrimp, blue crabs and oysters with the commercial and recreational seafood industry that is an import part of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Join us in the ACE Basin to learn about South Carolina's top three commercial seafood species and their relationships with the estuary. Participants will take home real world examples and resources to connect your students to the estuary through careers, recreation, and food. Apply Here!
From Seeds to Shoreline®
From Seeds to Shoreline® (S2S) is South Carolina’s only salt marsh restoration program designed for K–12 students and teachers. This year-long program engages participating schools with cultivating and transplanting Spartina alterniflora (smooth cord grass) to designated areas along the state’s coastline.
We partner with South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium and Clemson University Cooperative Extension to serve K-12 students and teachers from across the state.
