The Salton Sea Authority considers education of students at all levels to be very important for the restoration of the Sea. And, for the educator, the Sea can be addressed from various disciplines of study. History can come alive as students view the landscape and see the evidence of an ancient shoreline.
Science becomes an adventure as students conduct experiments on salinity.
Social Sciences come into play as students investigate legislation with respect to the Sea. The opportunities for learning are many and varied. Currently, the Salton Sea Authority is working to develop stand-alone units on the Salton Sea that can be offered to teachers, and to assess effective ways in developing curricula that utilize the Sea. The stand-alone units and curricula will have ties to the web site in order to use it as a teaching tool. The Salton Sea Authority convened a workshop for teachers in October to learn about the restoration of the Sea and to discover ways to integrate curricula with the study of the Sea.
