Salmon Stream Science Workshop

Do you know what salmon need for a healthy stream habitat? Salmon need the “three C’s” – cold, clean, and clear water!

During this workshop, you will discover how to determine if water is healthy for salmon by meeting the bugs that tell the story of the stream – and serve as an important food source for salmon fry. Become a salmon scientist and learn how NSEA educators teach students to test the water quality of local creeks, then draw your own conclusions based on what we find.

Join NSEA’s Education Program Manager, Nathan Zabel, on our campus at 3057 E Bakerview Rd, Bellingham, WA on Thursday, May 15th. The workshop runs from 3:30–4:30 PM, but stick around afterward for an exclusive look at NSEA's outdoor classroom – one of the highlights of our summer camp program! Staff will be available until 5 PM for optional open discussion, hands-on activities, and unstructured play.

This workshop is free and family-friendly! All ages are welcome. Registration is appreciated to let us know you’re coming, but it’s not mandatory to attend.

Please reach out to Megan at MAdams@n-sea.org if you have any questions.

This workshop will be held outside, so please dress appropriately for the weather, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring a water bottle. Indoor bathrooms will be available.
