Barbara Kent Lawrence, of the Stewardship Education Alliance, provided a summary of a recent S.E.A. cruise aboard the Schooner Appledore.

Friends of S.E.A. enjoyed a splendid sunset cruise aboard Schooner Appledore celebrating the S.E.A. mission: increase community awareness of ways to be better stewards of our local watersheds.  And - they had a lot of fun! Schooner Appledore provided the trip as well as drinks, and 16 Bayview, Blaze Brewing Company, the Camden Deli, French & Brawn, Laugh Loud Smile Big cupcake company, and The Red Barn donated delicious food. Schooner Appledore also gave 6 baskets of prizes each including 2 tickets for another cruise and Appdelore  great!  Even a gentle sunset contributed.
 
The Stewardship Education Alliance offers grants to schools in Appleton, Camden, Hope, Lincolnville and Rockport, and hosts community events including Poetry on Windows, Marine Science Day, S.E.A. FAIR, and the mobile marine tank. S.E.A takes the mobile and sea creatures to schools and libraries, and is looking for volunteers.
 
We hope you will want to help our schools and communities learn about and care for our watersheds by volunteering and supporting our work. We know you will be in good company and think you will have fun! For more information visit: www. StewardshipEducationAlliance. org
