           What Do We Know and How Do We Teach It?

At this year’s MAMEA Conference, we turn our attention to the status of our Mid- Atlantic coastal environments and ask “What do students and citizens need to know?”

Our guest speakers will illustrate regional habitats and aquatic life, provide a status report and identify crucial trends and topics.

Through session presentations, our colleagues share strategies, examples and best practices for how we convey important content and skills.
