Inland Seas Education Association is an educational sailing company based in Suttons Bay, MI on Lake Michigan. Their mission is to inspire a lifetime of Great Lakes curosity, stewardship, and passion in people of all ages. Through educational experiences, Inland Seas fosters Great Lakes resiliency for future generations.

Inland seas offers a variety of options for schools to introduce their students to hands-on learning on and around the Great Lakes. They have Schoolship programs where students become scientists for the day and assist professional staff and instructors with the collection and analysis of Great Lakes samples. Onshore, they have an education center where students and adults alike can learn about the Great Lakes wildlife and how they interact with each other in an interactive and hands-on experience.

I was approached by volunteer coordinator, Rachel Ratliff, to create these images to display in the education center as well as on board the vessels. To see my work, visit Inland Seas Education Association in Suttons Bay, MI or view their online album here
