| description | Authenticity is paramount for engaging student interest in marine science. The programs at the Navarre Beach Marine Science Station (NBMSS), Navarre, Florida, blend formal and informal education to spark curiosity and provide real-world experiences. High school students acquire foundational field skills while leading experiential lessons for elementary-aged groups, applying knowledge in real-world contexts through inquiry-based instruction aligned with environmental and ocean literacy best practices. Over the past 15 years, the success of NBMSS programs and their measurable impact on generating future educators and scientists prove the importance of applying learned content immediately and meaningfully in authentic settings. |
