Sailing the Sargasso Sea

Upon the tall ships of the Sea Education Association (S.E.A.), students learn to become sail savvy deckhands, while taking part in hands-on ocean science research. Join Dr. Jeff Schell on a windblown journey into the Sargasso Sea, where floating kelp islands provide habitat for a drifting ecosystem. Learn what Columbus thought on his first encounter, and what it means to be part of a shipboard community when no land is in sight. Stand watch, navigate by the stars, and discover the oddities and intricacies of kelp! Meet the Ocean is a listener-supported 501c3 nonprofit.
