[Ecoed] New Marine Education Resource for Teachers

[Christine Engels]

Apologies for cross-postings

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce the companion website to Treasures in the  
Sea: Our Bahamian Marine Resources, a new resource book that provides  
educators with scientific information and engaging, hands-on  
activities that encourage students to discover, cherish, and protect  
the sea and all of its treasures.

Visit the website to download the book or sections of the book, link  
to resources related to the activities, find out about training  
workshops in The Bahamas, and share teaching ideas and experiences in  
marine conservation education.

We hope you will find Treasures in the Sea useful and welcome any  
feedback you may have!

Treasures in the Sea grew out of the Bahamas Biocomplexity Project,  
an interdisciplinary study to improve understanding of the potential  
for marine protected area networks to support biodiversity  
conservation and fisheries sustainability, as well as recreational  
and other uses. It was developed through a partnership of the  
American Museum of Natural History’s Center for Biodiversity and  
Conservation, the Bahamas National Trust, and the Bahamas Ministry of  
Education, Youth, Sports and Culture, with support from numerous  
collaborators.
