Gordon Peabody works as director of Safe Harbor’s multiple programs. He also spends up to six months each year living aboard a wooden sailboat. “Living on the water offers an intimate embrace with the primal elements and offers a unique perspective on our natural resources. Our coastal communities and our natural resources need each other to survive. We are all learning together to think sustainably. Core components of sustainability are the ability to consider both the problem and the cause of the problem as a single concept and to consider the consequences of decisions. We have to be able to believe in ourselves and give ourselves permission to make a difference, because children will be inheriting our decisions.”
We have designed the significant Educational Initiative section of this web site to create additional learning opportunities.
