Through partnerships with schools, districts, and environmental organizations, service learning opportunities will be established for civic engagement in NatureBridge students' home communities. This engagement effort includes the creation of new climate literacy curriculum, the application of cutting-edge monitoring technology and online resources for public participation in scientific research, the exposure of youth to STEM career options, and the significant increase in diversity of students served by NatureBridge programming. This work will be informed by and benefit from NOAA assets across our service areas. By strengthening existing and creating new engagement programs throughout our organization, teachers will become fully versed in the principles of environmental and climate literacy. These programs will focus on increasing accessibility, diversifying our participants, and incorporating best practices and climate literacy content.","National Geographic Society, Audubon Center at Debs Park, Cupertino Union School District, Los Angeles Unified School District, San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), Seattle Public Schools, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) / Center X, TreePeople, U.S. National Park Service / Pacific West Region, NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO), National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Channel Islands, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Olympic Coast, NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), National Museum of Natural History, 5 Gyres, ShareFest Community Development" "Building Ocean Awareness Together (BOAT)","Florida Aquarium","2012: Ocean Education Partnership Grants",2012,NA12SEC0080024,"$232,790","Debbi Stone",Florida,Tampa,Hillsborough,FL14,"27.94659, -82.44514","2012-10-01T00:00:00 - 2015-03-31T00:00:00","A consortium of Alaska SeaLife Center, Florida Aquarium and Monterey Bay Aquarium with their partner National Association for Interpretation will increase the effectiveness of informal science educators (ISE) to promote public understanding of three complex topics that impact the ocean (oil spills, ocean acidification, and energy literacy) and encourage stewardship of ocean and coastal resources. This project will have a direct impact on 252 interpreters in and around Alaska, California, and Florida through 12 weeklong trainings. Groups of interpreters will develop, assemble and produce online training toolkits, all of which will be widely disseminated to the ISE community. Each toolkit will utilize NOAA multimedia content, data visualization products, expertise and other relevant resources. Project participants – who interact with a diverse mix of local, regional, national and international visitors (including underserved local populations) – will provide enhanced training content for their colleagues through professional trainings, presentations, and online networks.","California Academy of Sciences, Monterey Bay Aquarium, National Aquarium / National Aquarium In Baltimore (NAIB), New England Aquarium Corporation / New England Aquarium (NEAq), Seattle Aquarium, Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science / Alaska SeaLife Center, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, National Association for Interpretation (NAI), University of Alaska (UA-Fairbanks), NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) / Pacific Islands, NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO)"
