Garden of the Salish Sea Curriculum Acknowledgements and Partnerships

We would like to acknowledge our partners and cooperators for recognizing that through partnerships in education, we can instill stewardship and behaviors that will restore and preserve healthy shellfish harvest and marine resources to the Salish Sea ecosystem. Commendations to The Farmers of the Tideflats for all of your hours volunteered to make the Drayton Harbor Community Oyster Farm a reality.

Special thanks to the Whatcom Community Foundation for believing in and funding this effort!
