Document Description
The Santa Ynez Chumash Environmental Office (SYCEO) in collaboration with University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) will bring approximately 260 youth who have historically had little chance to visit the coast to the Central Coast and Channel Islands to learn about marine resources and traditional knowledge of these resources. This opportunity will bring UCSB students and Chumash youth together to share science and traditional ecological knowledge of coastal and marine resources. Youth participants from the first year will then lead the youth during the 2nd year of the project, creating an opportunity for leadership and knowledge of marine resources to be shared by Chumash youth with Chumash youth. The program includes transportation or transportation assistance for day and overnight trips that will include fun experiences such as hiking and kayaking.
