Celebrate Endangered Species Day on May 15

NMEA members are encouraged to participate in the fourth annual Endangered Species Day on May 15, 2009.

The purpose of national Endangered Species Day (first approved by the U.S. Senate in 2006) is to provide an opportunity to learn about the threats to endangered species and share the success stories in species recovery.

There are numerous marine/other educational opportuniti= es for Endangered Species Day, including class discussions, field trips, speci= al speakers and displays.

For additional information and resource materials, visi= t MailSca= nner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "www.endangeredspeciesday.o= rg" claiming to be www.endangeredspeciesday.org

These FREE web seminars are interactive sessions that introduce educators to the basic science behind these two climate change-related threats that affect coral reef ecosystems worldwide. The Ocean Acidification session will present the chemical alternation of the oceans as a result of our emissions of carbon dioxide, and the potential effect on marine calcifiers, particularly corals. The Coral Bleaching session will provide an overview of how elevated ocean temperature events can produce mass bleaching events, and how coral reefs are affected by them. Both sessions are presented by NOAA field experts who bring the latest findings to educators who have have a limited to no prior exposure to the issues.
