I teach at Croatan High School, a North Carolina Honor School of Excellence, a very high performing school which just so happens to be luckily located by the Atlantic Ocean. In my Earth and Environmental classes, my freshmen have only a couple of field trips, and typical hands-on experiences; therefore, I would like to offer them a day on the high sea. We are fortunate to be close to the Duke University Marine Laboratory and they have a research vessel that can be rented. I would like to utilize this resource and take the students trawling in the ocean, dredging in the sound and discovering the Cape Lookout National Seashore at Shackleford Banks. Being on a bonafide scientific research vessel, working the nets, culling and identifying the catch, salt in the air, wind in the hair...makes for an unmatched day of learning on the "high sea".
