Yes, You Can Still Be a Hero

There are many seals and sea lions like Osprey in our care right now. Some are orphaned and others are injured, but they all have one thing in common: they need your help to return home for the holidays. 

When you give today, your gift will be matched up to $3,000 by your fellow ocean lovers, Barbara and David Beasley. And your matched donation will be put right to work where it’s needed most. Yes, you will help provide double the meals and meds an animal needs for a second chance at life.

This free, comprehensive Educator Guide is designed for educators to integrate with their classroom learning and is connected with Next Generation Science Standards and Ocean Literacy Principles for learners in grades 6-8.

The Growing Up on Ice project is a collaborative study of Weddell seal development in some of the harshest environments on our planet. In addition to partnering on the research project in Antarctica, the Growing Up on Ice research team and award-winning educators from The Marine Mammal Center have come together to translate the experiences and data from this research into a hands-on learning journey for middle school classrooms.
