August 10 to 17, they'll join 15 Puerto Rican teachers for the "Sea to the Mountains Environmental Education Workshop," organized by Lundie Spence and Juan Gonzalez, marine education specialists from the North Carolina and Puerto Rico Sea Grant programs respectively. Any North Carolina science teacher with a pair of tennis shoes, a sense of adven- ture and a love of nature is ehgible. In one week, the teachers will travel from the coast to the mountains, explor- ing the temperate ecosystems of North Carolina and learning teaching techniques for marine science classes. They'll trek down a nature trail at Greenfield Lake, examine salt marshes and ocean ecology, relive history with the Cherokees and raft down the Nan- tahala River. In addition, education materials and field guides will be iden- tified and activities from national science curricula will be used. The week will also give the North Carolina teachers the opportunity to compare the state's ecosystems with the tropical ones of Puerto Rico and to share ideas from different cultures. The workshop is sponsored by UNC Sea Grant, Puerto Rico Sea Grant, the Math/Science centers at the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Wilming- ton and Western Carolina University, the Marine Resources Center at Fort Fisher, Discovery Place, the High- lands Biological Station and the Wildlife Resources Commission.
