CINMS
Educational Activities
The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS) has developed classroom
materials and online educational activities that incorporate real data
from research efforts in the Sanctuary. We hope you will use these activities
in your classrooms and encourage students to explore these sites as an
independent project. Please email Julie.bursek@noaa.gov
or Laura.francis@noaa.gov
if you have any feedback or comments about these activities. Our goal
is to develop several more of these online activities that focus on current
sanctuary research projects.
