This morning, the Oregon Coast Aquarium's Oceanscape Network posted the final piece of our YEAR OF THE VAQUITA program, a cooperative effort with WhaleTimes and NOAA/Southwest Fisheries with mutual support from the Association of Zoos and Aquarium’s SAFE Program.
Today's post can be found at http://oceanscape.aquarium.org/explore/general_articles/year-of-the-vaquita-2017-december-update.
Included in the post is the final curriculum module (grade 9-12, aligned to NGSS and Ocean Literacy Principles) and the premiere episode of our OCEANSCAPE EXPLORER video news magazine.
A new program, our OCEANSCAPE EXPLORER teen correspondents report on the vaquita, compare it to an Oregon animal with similar conservation challenges; and offer advice on how sustainable seafood options can help both the porpoise and many other forms of marine life.
