need for science education, especially as it pertains to the
stewardship of coastal environments and natural resources, is
more urgent than ever. To promote wise management, use and
conservation of Louisiana’s rich coastal resources, Louisiana
Sea Grant uses current and traditional teaching technologies to
produce science-based materials for formal K-12 classrooms and
workshops for teachers and informal educators. These materials
provide accurate information about marine and aquatic
ecosystems, help stimulate awareness of our close relationship
to the environment and promote careful stewardship of our
natural resources. of education resources are available at the
Louisiana Marine Education Resources (LaMER) Web site at
