 |  | EPA divers provide outreach to K-8 students in the greater Seattle area to teach the fundamentals of ocean stewardship. Presentations (35 pp. 2.8MB, About PDF) typically include pictures and video of creatures in the Puget Sound as well as pictures of contaminated underwater sites to illustrate how EPA divers conduct scientific diving to protect the ocean environment. Students learn about the ocean in their backyard, as well as steps they can take to improve the health of Puget Sound through their own actions. Divers bring an assortment of equipment for students to get an idea of what cold-water diving in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington entails. For more information on divers in the classroom, contact the EPA dive team.
