Designing Educational Programs Around Marine Protected Areas Webinar
Community science projects often engage participants in data collection, but how can we design educational programs to support their learning, especially when working Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)? Crystal Cove Conservancy shares our curriculum model to frame data collection, analysis, and communication within MPAs. During the webinar, you’ll experience our approach in action as you take part virtually in a community science monitoring project within the Crystal Cove SMCA. Then you’ll learn tips on how to adapt our model for your…
