Abstract:

The Outreach & Education project is designed to enhance the PWS Herring Program research activities by showcasing their relevancy, broadening their applicability and extending their impact to people in the community. PWSSC educators will work with PWS Herring Research and Monitoring principal investigators (PI) and project collaborators to prepare public education materials that communicate the purpose, goals and results of the research program to “non-scientist” audiences and stakeholders in communities in and beyond the spill affected area. Outreach and education products will extend and transfer Pacific herring and marine ecosystem information to inform the public of local research activities and improve their ecological and ocean science literacy. The specific objectives of this proposal, which includes the outreach and education components of the PWS Herring Research and Monitoring Program, are to: 1) Disseminate PWS herring research information and lessons learned in this program to individuals, groups, policy makers, resource managers and institutions in PWS, including the effected fishing community. 2) Extend and transfer PWS herring research-based outreach and education products to general audiences in and beyond the spill affected areas of PWS. 3) Integrate community involvement into the planning and sampling programs through citizen science opportunities and public workshops
