- John Steinbeck, Cannery Row, 1945

Watershed Education CurriculumWe are developing a new watershed education curriculum which teaches about the connection between rivers and oceans. In particular, we will track the life of steelhead running from the Carmel River into the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary. Hundreds of school children from Monterey County benefit from our full watershed education program each year through 2-3 hands-on and classroom outings.
