CoastWatch in the Schools

The beach is a place of wonder and curiosity and an incredible place for learning. CoastWatch in the Schools links classrooms on the coast to a shoreline mile close to their school that they observe and document year after year.

CoastWatch in the Schools (CWIS) coordinates guest educators to be on the beach with teachers and students; provides training for community science projects and uploading data; coordinates with other schools for sharing CoastWatch Mile findings; introduces classrooms to scientists and researchers. Schools submit mile reports just like all CoastWatch volunteers.
