Educational Resources
Several of our member organizations hold teacher trainings to educate teachers about how to incorporate skills and knowledge necessary to integrate lessons and projects on coasts and estuaries into their classrooms. In addition, many of our members offer educational teaching materials for adults and children that can be downloaded.
American Littoral Society
The American Littoral Society (ALS) was founded by scientists, naturalists, and divers with a thirst for knowledge about life in the littoral zone. While ALS certainly promote books and other media about coastal ecology and coastal wildlife (some of our members are noted authors on the subject), they have found that people learn more and learn more quickly through hands-on experience. ALS lead people onto the beach, into the water, and under the water.

North Carolina Coastal Federation
The North Carolina Coastal Federation Habitat Restoration and Education Program seeks to restore some of our most threatened environments while simultaneously increasing the public's appreciation for the value and beauty of a variety of coastal habitats. This is coupled with providing hands-on opportunities in their stewardship. Whether through growing Spartina Alterniflora seeds, bagging oyster shell to place on newly restored reefs, or offering information through workshops, NCCF believes hands-on restoration is the first step in becoming an active participant in coastal awareness.
