We cannot charter local commercial boats anymore as they are used for whale watching trips past 9 a.m. Many of the field trips do not arrive until 9 a.m. and students are unfortunately left behind on the dock. We typically have field trips on our site until 2 p.m.\n \"Many of the children we serve are from foster care situations like Orangewood Academy, Olive Crest and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). We also serve hundreds of at-risk children in our multi-year partnership with KidWorks in Santa Ana. For many of these children, this is their first time on a boat.\"\n In addition, this educational vessel will also serve as a floating laboratory. Students will use scientific instruments such as underwater robots they design and build in ExplorOcean's land-based classrooms. This twin-hulled boat will gently transport K-12 students to the 700 acre Newport Back Bay Estuary. Students will also have a chance to visit the California Institute of Technology's William G. Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory in Corona Del Mar and talk with world class scientists about ongoing Sea Urchin DNA research.\n The vessel will be maintained by professional staff and berthed on ExplorOcean's waterfront free of charge. The hull will be wrapped in ExplorOcean's colorful logo and meets the design, construction and safety requirements of the US Coast Guard. Philanthropists who still wish...
