Schools & Colleges
Schools and Colleges sectors consist of institutions whose primary purpose is to educate students, including secondary schools, universities, and trade schools.

CMap Description
Growing coastal development changes the cultural identity of a community, creating an increased need for education and information. Infrastructure is needed to support the Education and Information sectors, including buildings and roads, and this infrastructure results in landscape changes and discharges. Information sectors may benefit from aesthetic value provided by reefs, including photography and video. Coastal schools & colleges may also directly benefit from shoreline protection. Reef ecosystems also provide educational and research opportunities for students and scientific researchers. Scientific research can contribute to the effectiveness of decisions by enhancing our understanding of ecosystems. Collaboration and funding can improve, increase, and guide scientific research. Decision-makers may also utilize schools & colleges to improve environmental education.Citations

Environmental Education: Support Environmental Workshops for Educators | This management option involves using environmental education workshops in order to ameliorate educator�s knowledge of the importance of corals because of their cultural and natural resource value. Local... management areas can co-sponsor these efforts, and up-to-date information will always be utilized. Involvement in such workshops not only promotes coral education, but can also show educators where resources and opportunities exist through institutional collaboration. | NOAA Marine Sanctuary Program. 2007.

Environmental Education: Promote Environmental Education in Local Schools | Volunteers can be used to assist education and outreach staff to bring environmental education to local schools. Volunteers can do things such as: chaperone during snorkel trips, and help students with... water quality testing exercises. Volunteers should be trained to correctly use educational materials and equipment. | NOAA Marine Sanctuary Program. 2007. Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary revised management plan.

Monitor & Research: Develop Scientific Research Study Program | Management areas can encourage scientific studies by coordinating efforts of research groups and institutions. Collaboration and integration of these scientific studies can be beneficial to both the research... groups and the management area. For example, data from monitoring of restoration projects could be analyzed by an academic institution, helping to reduce the burden on funds and perhaps using data in ways outside the scope of management objectives. | NOAA Marine Sanctuary Program. 2007.
