The Heat is On! Climate Change and Coral Reef Ecosystems

NOAA/NSTA Web Seminars

Check on this invitation to participate in two free web Seminars about ocean acidification and coral bleaching. Click anywhere to visit the NSTA site.

Coral reef ecosystems will be heavily impacted by climate change and can be used to illustrate its disastrous effects. While these remarkable systems are robust enough to create structures like the Great Barrier Reef, visible from space, they can be damaged and destroyed by even small changes in the Earth's climate.

WHAT WE DO

In Tropical Marine Ecology we will study the biodiversity of a coral reef ecosystem and the related habitats that support its complex structure. Observe the dynamics of age-old survival relationships of unique animals on the reef and the pressures of an emerging tourist destination on these delicate relationships. Swim and interact with dolphins at the largest dolphin encounter in the Caribbean. Comfortable boats will deliver us to the calm, sheltered coral reef lying just offshore, where you will be snorkeling among the reef fishes in warm water almost as clear as air. This course is a must for nature lovers and science teachers at all levels. Transform life science and social studies lessons with materials and experiences that will allow students to construct their own models of these complex but crucial ecosystems.

This will be our twenty-second trip traveling with teachers to the Caribbean for an in-depth study of coral reef ecology. In my day job I coordinate an Elementary Science Program which provides science kits to elementary classrooms.
