At the end of August, teachers in American Samoa participated in a first-of-its-kind professional development workshop to enhance local ocean education. The workshop was held with support from the American Samoa Department of Education, National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, Ocean Exploration Trust, and NOAA Ocean Exploration. Highlights included tours of Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus, development of ocean-focused lesson plans, and the creation of long-term resources available for teachers to use in their classrooms.

Oysters "ecosystem engineers," are remarkable creatures that play a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. These shellfish act as nature's filtration system, tirelessly purifying the water they inhabit. By filtering large volumes of water daily, oysters help remove #pollutants and excess nutrients, promoting water clarity and quality. Beyond their filtration prowess, oysters contribute to ecosystem equilibrium by creating habitats for a diverse array of marine life. Oyster reefs provide shelter and food for various species, enhancing biodiversity and supporting the intricate web of life in our oceans. The significance of oysters goes beyond their ecological impact; they also hold cultural value and historical importance in many coastal communities.

Diving into a sea of knowledge: empowering teachers to enhance ocean literacy in primary schools through an ocean education training program | Open Access Cátia Freitas, Paul Venzo, Alecia Bellgrove & Prue Francis Pages: 1-22 | DOI: 10.1080/13504622.2024.2357342 Abstract Despite the opportunity to integrate ocean literacy in schools, there is limited global evidence that learning about the ocean has been prioritised in formal educational systems. An overloaded curriculum, teacher’s lack of ocean knowledge and the limited availability of educational resources are the main barriers for the inclusion of ocean topics in schools. To tackle these challenges, we developed an ocean education training program for primary school teachers and provided them with teaching resources to deliver ocean concepts and increase awareness of a local marine environment. Our results showed a positive response from teachers regarding the program, their experience, and the incorporation of ocean literacy in their lessons across different learning areas. This study emphasises the importance of training teachers in ocean literacy and can be used as a model to design marine education programs that consider the local, cultural, and environmental context of individual schools. #marineeducation #professionaldevelopment #formaleducation #elementaryschool #SDG14 #lifebelowwater https://lnkd.in/gjZd_CDQ
