Assateague Island National Seashore: climate change education resources
As the continuing effects of climate change alter the unique habitats at Assateague Island National Seashore, communicating the threats posed by climate change becomes increasingly important. Thus, IAN and staff at Assateague will collaborate to identify the key messages regarding climate change and design a series of documents that illustrate these threats to a variety of stakeholders. We will create a online module for middle and high school students about what causes climate change and what our coastlines might look like in the future. This module will be support by brochures for the visitors' center at the park and a technical report.  Full Details

Pacific Island Network: coral education resources
Resource managers and interpretive staff in the Pacific Island Network have partnered with IAN staff, students, educators, and cultural experts to develop an online module that explores our intricate connections to coral reefs and climate change. By synthesizing park science and integrating cultural knowledge, the module illustrates the coral ecosystems in the Pacific islands, the threats that climate change poses, and how changes to coral reefs may impact our daily lives. Input from local teachers and researchers ensures the accuracy and usability of these materials.  Full Details
