Help Shape New Gulf Coast Education Resources for Classrooms Across the Gulf States
We’re looking for 10 public and private middle school teachers (Grades 5–8) from across the Gulf Coast to help develop and test new classroom lessons through the Gulf of America Alliance Education Products Professional Development Initiative.
This collaborative project will bring together two educators from each Gulf state—Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida—to create high-quality, classroom-ready lessons aligned with the Gulf Literacy Principles and the Waters to the Sea: Gulf Adventure educational resources.
About the Program
Focused on the local impacts of a changing environment to the watershed, this program aims to bring together the coastal environment and the community through meaningful, hands-on experiences that raise environmental literacy, adaptability, and stewardship.

We would like to introduce a new sub-program,
Glass Roots!
Cultivating the salt marshes of tomorrow is a program for 5th -8th graders in Coastal Mississippi. Glass Roots leverages several successful high school programs to design an experience tailored for younger students to learn about marsh and dune restoration and the role of these important ecosystems in resilience and watershed management.
