Informal Ocean Education

Public Group active 1 year, 2 months ago

People spend only 20% of their lives in formal schooling. If we hope to increase the ocean literacy of our population then we need to look towards informal or free-choice learning opportunities. Observing systems provide a vast array of data and stories ripe for these environments. This workgroup encourages scientists and informal educators to collaborate to make these resources accessible to the public.

    Hi Katie, those are interesting comments “from the field.” Thanks for sharing them. I hope they help us focus the activities and messages we should work on. I think much of our response will have to be regionally based, as it’s clear that it’s playing differently in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Gulf areas.
