Issues
Using Marine Mammals to Communicate Solutions to
Ocean IssuesGOAL 1: Host Marine Mammal Institute for 32 informal educators with access to underserved audiences in North Carolina over two consecutive years.
GOAL 3: Provide a minimum of 32 special events, targeting underserved audiences, which highlight impacts of climate change on marine mammals and propose positive actions to reduce these impacts, using innovative GeoDome experiences.
Community Outreach
GOAL 2: Develop interpretive activities using marine mammals to communicate impacts of climate change, increase ocean literacy, and propose positive action among audiences in free choice learning environments.
GOAL 4: Generate animation, incorporate unique marine mammal data and video footage, and integrate climate imagery into GeoDome programming for target audiences.
GOAL 5: Upgrade existing marine mammal exhibit at NCAFF with emerging technology to incorporate climate change effects, increase ocean literacy, and propose positive behavior change; incorporate new GeoDome programming into existing SOS and Ocean Today exhibits at NCAPKS and NCARI.
“Establish a national network of informal science interpreters who are devoted to increasing effective education about climate change that is informed by current science, visitor research and evidence-based communications strategies.”
