This lesson explores how ocean currents and marine weather shape conditions across the global oceans. Students will learn about surface and deep-water currents, the Coriolis Effect, and global circulation systems while examining how winds, waves, and storms influence ocean travel.
This lesson explores how different forms of marine pollution impact ocean ecosystems and marine life. Students will learn about sources such as plastics, chemicals, oil, and noise while examining how these pollutants disrupt habitats and ecological balance.
This lesson explores how global warming impacts ocean systems and marine life. Students will learn about rising ocean temperatures, climate change, and their effects on ecosystems while examining how warming oceans influence weather patterns and biodiversity.
In partnership with the talented team at Canvas of the Wild, The International SeaKeepers Society is excited to present the “Wildscapes Unveiled” educational outreach project. Our goal is to invite South Florida students to explore three vital native environments; the Everglades, Mangrove Forests, and the Western Central Atlantic Pelagic. Learning about how these places support the health of Florida’s ecology and economy, as well as the threatened species that play a role in maintaining these systems.
Students will have the opportunity to learn about these habitats through three interactive displays with embedded touchpoints that link to species and habitat information on the Canvas of the Wild knowledge base. An e-workbook will also accompany the murals, which will also guide students and teachers through each featured habitat display and provide supplemental curriculum.
The Biscayne Bay Coral Reef and Mangrove species identification guide was created by SeaKeepers Education and Outreach in partnership with the talented environmental artist Kelly Quinn of Canvas of the Wild with funding support from Open Water. They are the first and only ID guide specifically for Biscayne Bay that includes above and below-water native flora and fauna species. These unique outreach tools were created to increase community environmental awareness and promotion of marine conservation education in our beautiful Biscayne Bay ecosystems. The guides are 5.5” x 8”, double-sided, completely waterproof, and contain 100 highly detailed, true-color species images.
