Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program

B-WET Grant Program

The Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program was established in 2002 to create environmentally literate students and teachers through education. The program supports NOAA's goal of developing a well-informed citizenry involved in decision-making that positively impact our coastal, marine and watershed ecosystems. B-WET is sponsored by NOAA's Office of Education with programs in the Hawai`ian Islands, the Chesapeake Bay, and California. Expansion efforts have included states in the Gulf of Mexico, Northeast and the Pacific Northwest.

B-WET Hawai`i

The B-WET Hawai`i Program is an environmental education program that promotes locally relevant, experiential learning in the K-12 environment on priority topics, such understanding climate change, earth sciences and community resilience to hazards. The B-WET Hawai`i competitive grants are awarded annually to fund projects that provide meaningful watershed educational experiences for students, related professional development for teachers, and support regional education and environmental priorities.
