CORAL FOR KIDS! NEW BOOK RELEASED
Added to website: 15 January 2008
Nancy Lucas’s New Coral Reef Childrens Book
Announcing the availability of a children’s book aimed at educating students in Grades 1-5 about threats to coral reefs, with a heavy emphasis on coral disease and anthropogenic stressors. The book was created by a young artist in Charleston South Carolina in consultation with scientists from the Marine Resources Center at Fort Johnson, Charleston SC USA. The creation of this book was originally intended to meet a need that local scientists espoused when trying to explain coral disease research during ‘career days’ in the local public schools. Although the book has a main story-line with identifiable characters, it is filled with short informational ‘asides’ that could be used by teachers to support a short unit on coral reef decline.
