The Island Institute works to sustain Maine's island and coastal communities, and exchanges ideas and experiences to further the sustainability of communities here and elsewhere. II's Education Team works with environmental education organizations and helps connect them to island/coastal schools.

Island Packers is the concessionaire to the Channel Islands National Park, providing transportation to the islands from the Ventura and Channel Islands Harbors. We offer Floating Classroom programs to students K-12, focusing on the unique resources and environmental challenges impacting these offshore islands and the waters surrounding them. Our programs can be tailored to meet the educational goals of the instructors in both science and social science topics, and include subjects like introduced species, endemism, geology, marine resources, Native American inhabitants, human impact, and environmental stewardship.

We are a chapter of the NCWF. We host events aimed at educating the community about conservation.

IslandWood's mission is to provide exceptional learning experiences and inspire lifelong environmental and community stewardship. IslandWood is an environmental education nonprofit. We offer a variety of immersive programs throughout the Seattle region to help children, educators, and community members deepen their understanding of the world around them, explore important environmental issues, and see the power they have to make a positive impact on their communities and the planet.

The Islesboro Islands Trust mission is: to enhance the quality of residents lives through the preservation of open space,to educate all residents as to the value of the islands natural ecosystems, and to act as an environmental advocate on behalf of Islesboro and the surrounding Penobscot Bay region.

Connecting people to the past and present by honoring the land, history, and community.

The Maine Barcode of Life (MBOL) project, launched in 2013, is a joint effort by Maine high schools, colleges, and IXplore to assess the biodiversity and distribution of Maine’s marine and land-based organisms and to build a genetic library of Maine species – past and present. Students and teachers conduct scientific research using DNA barcoding, a combination of fieldwork, biotechnology and bioinformatics. This method identifies and classifies any plant or animal by comparing the DNA sequence of one universal gene. DNA Barcoding is a model for high tech student inquiry and offers a platform for using scientific practices; and may lead to scientific publication and identification of novel species! How do I get involved? High school students and teachers can contribute to the MBOL project by participating in the Bio-Tech Ed Program. After a teacher receives training, classrooms can access a DNA Barcoding Footlocker (contains equipment and supplies) for use in their classroom. The University of New England invites Maine classrooms to visit the Marine Science Center to collect specimens for student DNA barcoding research.
