Danika Strecko of Oceanwise speaks on education and the oceans
Danika Strecko is the education coordinator for Oceanwise, a branch of the Vancouver Aquarium. Her main goal is to raise ocean literacy among students so that they can be part of the solution to the issues facing the oceans. Danika uses both online resources/virtual meetings as well as tour groups that visit the aquarium to educate the public. The resources referred to are available at www.ocean.org. Danika also refers to the importance of citizen science and uses the example of a series of underwater cameras set up by the Ocean Network (www.oceannetworks.ca) where anyone can monitor the sealife and contribute to the scientific work. This episode will inspire any student to want to study the oceans more, and any teacher to give them that opportunity!
