"the mountain and the sea are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books." -john lubbock
Meet Our Team
The Salish Sea School is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion, and connectedness. We are able to grow and learn better together with a diverse team. We welcome the unique contributions that one can bring in terms of their education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.
We are stronger together with the collective sum of individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent which ultimately brings about a healthier planet.

Give Kids the Sea — and Watch Their World Change
Too many kids grow up without ever touching the tide, hearing seabirds cry, or seeing a whale surface beside their boat. Yet to protect the Salish Sea, they first have to know it.
Your gift makes that possible. It puts paddles in students’ hands, life vests on their backs, and wonder in their eyes as they explore the marine world for the very first time.
“My daughter once had the opportunity to benefit from your scholarship — now she is even more inspired to care for the environment. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your work.”
Every dollar fuels real experiences—boat trips, gear, and lessons that turn curiosity into lifelong conservation.
“Our daughter experienced so many new things traveling around to different islands and learning from the wonderful instructors. The school filled her with a sense of global responsibility, environmental stewardship, and personal confidence.”
“She is still talking about puffins to anyone who will listen. She’s extremely proud to be a Puffin Protector!”
When you give, you make stories like these possible — for more students still waiting for their turn to experience the sea.
Give today to get more students outside—hands dirty, feet wet, and hearts connected to the Salish Sea.
