Matagorda Bay B-WET is a professional development opportunity for teachers funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Bay Watershed and Education Training (B-WET) program: https://www.noaa.gov/office-education/bwet .  

 The purpose is to support locally relevant, authentic experiential learning through meaningful watershed educational experiences, which include learning in the outdoors and in the classroom to increase understanding and stewardship of watersheds and related ecosystems.  It is being offered by the Matagorda Bay Foundation https://matbay.org/ and Baylor University’s Center for Reservoir and Aquatic Systems Research https://www.baylor.edu/crasr/.

Matagorda Bay B-WET is open to 5^th- 12^th grade Texas teachers in coastal counties with a preference given to those with watersheds connected to or near the Matagorda Bay. Studying watersheds can be multi-disciplinary and teachers outside of science are welcome to apply.  For more information, email melissa_mullins@baylor.edu
