In partnership with the talented team at Canvas of the Wild, The International SeaKeepers Society is excited to present the “Wildscapes Unveiled” educational outreach project. Our goal is to invite South Florida students to explore three vital native environments; the Everglades, Mangrove Forests, and the Western Central Atlantic Pelagic. Learning about how these places support the health of Florida’s ecology and economy, as well as the threatened species that play a role in maintaining these systems.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about these habitats through three interactive displays with embedded touchpoints that link to species and habitat information on the Canvas of the Wild knowledge base. An e-workbook will also accompany the murals, which will also guide students and teachers through each featured habitat display and provide supplemental curriculum.
Beginning in January of 2024, the mobile displays will be showcased at Overtown Youth Center in Miami, Florida, as an ongoing local educational collaboration with The International SeaKeepers Society. Additionally, the explorable digital versions of the habitats will be accessible through the Canvas of the Wild knowledge base, with the e-workbook “Exploring South Florida Habitats,” available to the public for download globally via the SeaKeepers and Canvas of the Wild websites.
