Project Sustainable WATERS is an interdisciplinary program that provides teacher training, supplies, and digital resources to improve watershed literacy in Southwest Florida. Each lesson has a clear scientific focus, opportunities for field or lab work, data analysis, and model building all related to the learner’s own backyard. By the end of project Sustainable WATERS, you and the learners will know more about the unique ecosystem you all inhabit and how to start the conversation about balancing the needs of the environment and society.
"Sustainable WATERS builds a community of practice for Florida climate literacy." -Dr. Heather Skaza-Acosta

Program Goal
To improve educators and learners’ watershed literacy through the use and building of models, leading to a greater knowledge of and sense of agency in creating solutions to the impacts of climate change in Southwest Florida.
To accomplish this goal, the project has three foundational practices:
Learners will engage with each other, experts in the field, and local ecosystems to learn about the impacts of climate change in local watersheds and their home environments.
Learners will use and create models to communicate and represent their understanding of the problematic trends associated with the impacts of climate change in SWFL.
Learners will form community action plans, based on their understanding, to make a difference in their world.
