This Intensive summer course is designed for U.S. K-12 educators living in Sargassum-affected areas who are willing to engage in regular Sargassum, monitoring through CItizenship Science. 

Our field course will immerse you in the world of Sargassum managers, scientists, and entrepreneurs. You will learn how community members are dealing with the massive arrival of this macroalgae on their beaches. Lastly, you will learn how to collect data as a citizen scientist and be part of the solution.

This Program is made possible with support from LACC’s U.S. Department of Education Title VI Grant.
