Samuels, Green & Steel, LLP's 5th Annual
Ocean Institute Adopt-a-Class Event
Spending half a day with curious Elementary School
students on the R/V Sea Explorer is an Annual Event
that SG&S sponsors and looks forward to each year.
The kids are delighted learning about sea creatures and
cruising on a research vessel off of the coast of Dana
Point. For many of these children this is their first
experience out on the ocean.
The attorneys and staff in our office take the morning
off and led by Bill Steel, Partner of SG&S and Chair of
the Ocean Institute's Board of Directors, spend 4 hours
with these young explorers sharing their adventures in
experiencing the ocean and its amazing inhabitants.
The goal is to give these children an opportunity to
learn about marine life and the environmental to protect
and care for our oceans and the variety of creatures that live there.
The thank you letters from the children after the event
speak volumes. To quote some of their experiences:
"I like the ocean water splashing up on me."
"I learned there are two kinds of plankton; zooplankton and phytoplankton."
"I liked the Peterson Grab because the sea mud touched
the ocean floor and I saw a sea worm!"
"My favorite part was watching the dolphins and sea lions.
It was the best thing ever!"
This Adopt a Class event was held on
Tuesday, December 11, 2007.
