Sea & Learn on Saba is made possible through a grass roots cooperative effort.  Expert speakers donate their time and incur expenses to travel to Saba from many corners of the globe to participate in this unique event.  Local and regional sponsors generously donate services and time to welcome the guest lecturers and host the many venues that make the event possible.

Link to the Sea & Learn 2011 calendar to view schedules and locations for presentations, field projects and children events either as a "month at a glance" or weekly or daily.  

Saba's small island status equates to limited budgets for promotion.  Sea & Learn establishes Saba's identity as an eco-tourism destination with a focus on learning and sharing our knowledge about our unique environment.  Continued support of this program by our sponsors is one small step to ensure the program's perpetuity for years to come.  Priceless knowledge and awareness can be gained from Sea & Learn so that future generations may understand and enjoy fragile eco systems on Saba and throughout the world. 

If you wish to become a sponsor of Sea & Learn, we welcome your support.  Click here for full contact information.  Below are our sponsors for the 2011 event listed in alphabetical order.
