Next summer, NYSG’s Coastal Education Specialist Helen Domske is planning a week-long land-based Lake Ontario Exploration Workshop for 15 teachers in grades 4-10. The COSEE Great Lakes experiential program will provide interactions between educators and scientists along diverse environments of Lake Ontario, from embayments to sand dunes.

In Summer 2008, NYSG’s Domske and other educators embarked on a similar week-long COSEE training tour with 15 teachers, only this time on Lake Ontario via USEPA’s research vessel the Peter Wise Lake Guardian. COSEE GL is funded by the National Science Foundation and NOAA Sea Grant.
