In 2009, the West Marin School was a recipient of a NOAA B-WET grant. The NOAA California Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program provides funds to support environment-based education throughout the watersheds of San Francisco Bay, Monterey Bay, and Santa Barbara Channel. Funded projects provide meaningful watershed educational experiences to students, teachers, and communities. This web site showcases the media projects students created in 2010 and 2011.
