Our marine naturalist training course (MNTP) is an intensive five-day overview of the natural history of the San Juan Islands and the marine waters of Washington and Southern British Columbia (known as the Salish Sea). This course includes an in-depth treatment of the ecology and conservation of local marine species, presented by highly trained local naturalists, environmental educators, and scientists. The upcoming spring and summer sessions will be dynamic, high-quality hybrid experiences that leave graduates qualified as a regional professional or volunteer naturalist.
Virtual Presentations (approximately 9-4 Pacific time): April 8-12, 2025
In-Person Field Trips on San Juan Island: April 25-27, 2025 (must have completed MNTP to participate)
Class days will mostly be full days, starting around 9:00 am and ending around 4:00 pm PT.
