For educators who want to bring the ocean alive in their classrooms, there’s an incredible resource worth exploring. The Guy Harvey Foundation offers an impressive lineup of free educational assets designed to connect students directly to the world of marine conservation.
This isn’t just another set of worksheets. It’s a comprehensive collection of courses, videos, and ocean-focused resources that help students understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Through the generous support of partners and sponsors, the Foundation has made quality marine science education accessible worldwide. Their Education Catalog outlines “Courses for the Classroom” that equip teachers with engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and multimedia content centered on marine ecosystems and conservation.
These are tools that inspire stewardship.
Guy Harvey Foundation’s Conservation Education Vision On Video
One of the standout resources is Jessica Harvey’s Expedition Notebook video series. If you’ve ever wanted students to feel like they’re part of a research team in the field, this is it. The videos take viewers into the heart of marine exploration, offering an up-close look at real expeditions, real science, and real conservation work. It’s the kind of content that bridges the gap between textbook learning and boots-on-the-deck discovery.

And for those of us passionate about sharks, there’s plenty to dive into.
The Foundation provides a wide array of shark resources covering biology, ecology, and conservation challenges. These materials tackle common misconceptions head-on and help students understand the critical role sharks play as apex predators. From food web dynamics to species-specific studies, the content supports a deeper, science-based appreciation of these animals.
That matters, especially here along the Gulf Coast, where we at the Gulf Great White Shark Society are focused on education on large sharks, including the white shark which is returning in a big way.
When young people learn that sharks are vital components of healthy oceans, something shifts. Curiosity replaces fear. Respect replaces misunderstanding.
The Guy Harvey Foundation’s free assets give educators the tools to make that shift happen.
For anyone teaching about marine life, conservation these resources are worth exploring. Because conserving great whites, hammerheads, and every species in between starts with knowledge and knowledge starts in the classroom.
I salute the Guy Harvey Foundation for making these resources available in such epic fashion.

Moore to Speak On Great Whites At Houston Fishing Show
The Houston Fishing Show at the George R. Brown Convention Center will feature a special seminar by Chester Moore, Editor-In-Chief of Texas Fish & Game and founder of the Gulf Great White Sharks Society.
Moore’s seminar, titled “Giant Sharks of the Texas Coast,” will take place at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21. The presentation will focus on recent developments involving shark populations along the Texas coast.
Moore will discuss an increase in sightings and activity of great white sharks and other large shark species in the Gulf of Mexico. Topics will include tracking data of great whites near the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary, efforts to locate rare and large dusky sharks in Texas waters, and accounts of historically large sharks in the region.
The seminar will also highlight ways the public can get involved in conservation projects focused on large and rare shark species.
Attendees will receive a free Gulf Great White Shark Society decal. Kids are welcome, and the first 10 children at the event will get a free shark book courtesy of the Society.
The seminar is part of the Houston Fishing Show’s educational schedule.
