Sanibel Sea School to offer adult programs on sea level rise
The Sanibel Sea School will launch a new season of learning opportunities for adults in March.
Part of the organization’s SX3 Lifers series, which is designed to educate participants about timely locally-relevant topics in a fun setting, the theme for spring will be sea level rise.
The first event will be a screening of the documentary “Before the Flood” on March 1 at 5 p.m.at the flagship campus, at 455 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel. Presented by National Geographic, the film features Leonardo DiCaprio on his journey as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, traveling to five continents and the Arctic to witness climate change firsthand. Viewers will learn how they can take action as individuals, and the screening will be followed by a discussion. Walk-ins are welcome and the event is free, but donations are appreciated.
Additional offerings for adults will include guest speakers, social events, field trips and more. It will also offer a birding course, a Red Cross First Aid certification course and a chance to learn about harmful algal blooms from Executive Director Dr. Bruce Neill.
The Sanibel Sea School is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the ocean’s future, one person at a time. For more information, visit sanibelseaschool.org or call 239-472-8585.
