Supporting teachers. Inspiring students. Strengthening our watershed community.

Welcome Educators

At Coastal Carolina Riverwatch, we believe that fostering water literacy starts in the classroom. This page offers free tools, lessons, and opportunities for educators to bring environmental science to life for students across Coastal North Carolina.

Whether you’re looking for hands-on activities, NGSS/NC-aligned lesson plans, or a guest speaker, we’re here to help.
