In partnership with Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Hispanic Access is organizing an educational series that will culminate in a whale watch for over 100 students from Lawrence public schools. Participants will learn about humpback whales and marine life, environmental career opportunities, and the protection of marine resources. As students learn about whale migration and marine sanctuaries, they will discuss the environmental, cultural and social connections between the Eastern US and the Caribbean.

This Saturday marked the start of Latino Conservation Week, a week dedicated to building awareness among Latino communities of the beautiful public lands and outdoor experiences available to them, and the importance of conservation. It is also about reaffirming their connection to nature and the land.

20 young adults from Los Angeles will visit park in coordination with Hispanic Access Foundation's Latino Heritage Internship Program student, possible camping and volunteer experience, in addition to educational visit.
