IPY 2007-2008

In this five-day workshop during the International Polar Year, teachers will participate in interdisciplinary teams to explore first-hand how environmental change can be interpreted from changes in ocean water and coral reefs. Teachers will participate in exploring educational materials and scientific data collecting at the Caribbean Marine Research Center on Lee Stocking Island, The Bahamas. The CMRC maintains a long-term monitoring program on coral reefs and sea water temperature and has provided data to the U.S. National Park Service, NOAA, and others. Participants will also collaborate with international colleagues to develop materials custom made for their classrooms. This is one in a series of Wright Center workshops on interpreting environmental change, co-sponsored by the Perry Institute and the Wright Center. Workshop conducted by Zach Smith and Scott Battaion at Perry Institute for Marine
Science, Lee Stocking Island, The Bahamas. Contact Zach at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
