2021 Annual Conference
Educating for Sustainable Seas: Diving into the Ocean Decade
August 17-20, 2021 • in Cyberspace!
The Northwest Aquatic and Marine Educators (NAME) and the Canadian Network for Ocean Education (CaNOE) invite educators, researchers, students, and resource professionals from the Pacific Northwest and across Canada to present at the 2021 NAME/CaNOE summer conference. In keeping with current COVID guidelines, this year's conference will be held online from August 17-20, 2021.
Virtual conference sessions, networking opportunities, and social activities will be spread across four consecutive weekdays from Tuesday, August 17, through Friday, August 20. The extended timeline will help minimize online fatigue and allow us to better accommodate the needs of participants from a range of time zones across the U.S.A. and Canada.
We hope that all attendees will find plenty of ways to participate!
Presentations that align with this year's conference theme and goals are encouraged:
~ Learn and plan for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development
~ Discover resources and information from communities and organizations that value healthy marine and aquatic ecosystems, and discuss how they can be incorporated into ocean and aquatic education
~ Share activities, lessons, and resources that embrace diverse ways of teaching and learning ocean literacy concepts in the classroom and community
~ Explore and discuss current issues in marine and aquatic science and the role of place, language and culture in informing solutions
