We will promote and implement updated environmental education and School of the Sea curricula.
We will promote and implement updated environmental education and School of the Sea curricula, professional and specialized courses, and competency certifications with children, youth, producers, local professionals, and tourists, and share lessons learned to scale the impact.
Education has been a permanent programmatic component throughout CEDO’s history. For forty years we have reached thousands of people in Mexico and the United States.
Our Campus, located in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, houses exhibitions, a botanical garden, two ponds for endemic fish from the Sonoyta river, a fin whale and a vaquita skeleton, a library, a laboratory, dormitories, and a lecture hall.
Our staff brings together a interdisciplinary group of experts and committed volunteers trained to offer life experiences, specialized courses, environmental education and our CEDO School of the Sea.
