Gault Elementary School, a NOAA Ocean Guardian School, is located on the coast of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Santa Cruz, CA . From 2014-2019, Gault students participated in coastal restoration activities at their local state beaches. Partnering with Groundswell Coastal Ecology educators and volunteers, these young guardians of our ocean have helped to stabilize the coastal ecosystem by removing over 4,300 square meters of invasive ice plants and replacing them with nearly 12,000 native dune plants!

At NOAA Kids Day, the NOAA family was invited to bring their kids to work at the Silver Spring, Maryland, campus on April 25, 2019. The National Weather Service brought a Van de Graaff machine, an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column. This creates very high electric potentials, and is used to teach about electricity, or in this case, lightning strikes.
