It involves three informal education partners - the Exploratorium in San Francisco, the Waikiki Aquarium in Hawaii, and the Pacific Science Center in Seattle - working together to provide professional development for staff and local educators, as well as create educational programs and activities for museum visitors using authentic ocean and atmospheric data. The project aims to address the disconnect between scientific evidence and the public's understanding of these impacts by developing and implementing professional development workshops and training programs that connect local ocean and atmospheric data with regional, Pacific, and global systems. The goal is to create meaningful place-based education narratives and activities that help people better understand the evolving narrative and impact of ocean acidification and climate change.","Exploratorium, Pacific Science Center, University of California at Santa Barbara, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) / Southwest Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Channel Islands, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Greater Farallones, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Cordell Bank, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Olympic Coast, U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System / CeNCOOS, University of California—Berkeley, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Monterey Bay, U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System / PacIOOS, University of California—Davis"
