As an outdoor educator working with Victoria School Districts, students coming from schools with Seaquaria are noticeably more engaged and empathetic when working in marine and coastal habitat. Broader concepts - like ecosystems, food webs and human impacts are much easier to teach to students who have already grown their curiosity about these animals as individuals. Seaquaria creates the foundation for a relationship with the inter tidal world based on respect and reciprocity.

Having a Seaquarium tank at our school offered the anticipated benefits of hands-on learning, building responsibility through tank stewardship, and providing a launching point for inquiry. However, the unexpected soothing effect the tank had on our students was as important, and for our most vulnerable students even more important, than the academic applications.

Seaquaria is such an amazing learning tool that provides students a unique window into our local marine life. I have had multiple individuals excited to show us their Seaquaria while we were visiting and introducing students to our program; Exploring the Salish Sea. The Seaquaria is a perfect segway that leads students into understanding and connecting themselves to the marine environment. I had a grade 4/5 student that transformed her Coast Salish inspired legend into an artifact that she presented at the Royal BC Museum. She chose an Orange peel nudibranch, inspired from her school's Seaquaria and presented it with pride
