| NEW climate change educational resources!
As part of its Great Barrier Reef Climate Change Action Plan 2007-2012, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has developed a suite of educational resources to help educators teach about the complex impacts of climate change on coral reefs. The following products are now available:
Reef Beat 2009 Climate Change and Coral Reefs – a series of ten educational posters and an educational DVD full of resources such as a Teacher Activities Book, a Teacher Presentation, and lots of great multi-media education tools. Posters can be downloaded at http://www.reefed.edu.au/home/reefbeat/reef_beat_2009. C opies of the interactive educational DVD can be obtained by contacting info@gbrmpa.gov.au
Climate Change Animations – a series of five animations covering the topics of: the causes of climate change, what impacts it will have on the Reef, and how specific climate change impacts will affect coral reef ecosystems.
Download the animations by visiting http://www.reefed.edu.au/home/reefbeat/climate_change_and_our_great_barrier_reef and right clicking to save them to your computer. These animations are also available on YouTube and Vimeo. Visit www.reefed.edu.au and www.gbrmpa.gov.au for more great educational resources.
