Coastal awareness: a resource guide for teachers

This Resource Guide on Coastal Awareness was developed for elementary, junior high and high school teachers who would like to instill in children and young adults an appreciation of the ecologic value of the coast. The guide contains concepts and activities which could be used in a unit on Coastal Awareness. The purpose of this guide is not to present a definitive work on coastal ecology, but to entice teachers to explore ecological aspects of coastal awareness. A more complete understanding of the coast requires study of the interaction of ecology with economics, humanities and government. 1997 Education and outreach NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) SWFSC (Southwest Fisheries Science Center) Submitted Public Domain 1860
