Dr. Carl Stepath

 
 

NEW PROJECT:  Professional development for teachers: helping teachers in our formal school system implement environmental education courses. This improves sustainable island and coastal management visions through improved watershed/coastline ecology and marine science programs in our schools. Dr. Carl Stepath has worked with teachers and students for years to improve environmental learning through hands-on activities and curriculum. Sponsored in part by the Bill Healy Foundation
