| This week we have a series of programs
sponsored by the Community Foundation of
Southeastern MA and the Buzzards Bay Action
Committee under the auspices of the Southeastern
Environmental Education Alliance (SEEAL) in
Onset. Schooner Ernestina
arrived at Onset Pier on Sunday afternoon to
begin a week of dockside watershed education
programs for area third grade students. From
Monday through Thursday, over 400 students from
the Hammond, Decas, and Minot Forest Schools of
Wareham and Center School of Mattapoisett visited
the ship to experience learning stations that
focused on watersheds, wetlands, the water cycle,
wateruse, animal adaptations, sea scallops and
pollution plumes.
Agencies who collaborated with
the Ernestina staff included the Coalition for
Buzzards Bay, Westport River Watershed Alliance,
and MassPIRG Water Watch.
