I'm pleased to welcome as my guest today a multidisciplined and passionate advocate for the Sea, Alexandra Doudera. What Alexandra has accomplished in a very short period is quite extraordinary.

As a young girl growing up in Camden, Maine, she formed a deep and lasting connection with the ocean. I'll use her own words here. “I felt called to it. It was an almost unavoidable consequence of spending summers exploring Maine's Rocky Coast.”

Lexi, as her peers and students call her, has gained great success, not only as a passionate ocean advocate and educator, but also as a successful business entrepreneur. She's the founder and executive director of Saltwater Classroom.

Saltwater Classroom's mission is to foster an ethic of ocean stewardship in learners of all ages, especially among students in elementary and middle school. Lexi believes in hands-on education, tech integration, and global collaboration.
