About this opportunity

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Services intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition to Seward Association of the Advancement of Marine Science dba the Alaska SeaLife Center (ASLC) for the amount of $58,334 to cooperatively complete the project described below. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: 16 USC 1g, Agreements for the Transfer of Appropriated Funds to Carry Out NPS Programs. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: Climate Change and Ocean Acidification are two of the most pressing issues facing the marine environments of Alaska. Creating better awareness of marine resources, their value and connection with our lives, and the challenges they face from these global issues, is a critical piece in protecting them for future generations. By working with teachers, we can reach youth by having our messages worked into the curriculum in repeated and meaningful ways. The ultimate goal is to create local connections to Alaska's marine resources, with an understanding of their connection to the global marine world, and to foster stewardship of these resources. Alaskan teachers of all grade levels are constantly seeking enriching opportunities to expand their own understanding of science while exploring ways to bring that knowledge into their classrooms. The Alaska SeaLife Center has a unique ability to bring science to life for both teachers and students by sharing our Informal Scientific Education (ISE) expertise. The Alaska SeaLife Center frequently conducts teacher workshops on marine science topics, including three on climate change in the past year. The workshops are a conduit for relaying cutting-edge science from their facilities to classrooms around the state. The mission of the Alaska SeaLife Center is to generate and share scientific knowledge to promote understanding and stewardship of Alaska's marine ecosystems. This project fits under their mission by sharing how science is conducted, along with current results with teachers in order to promote both their and their student's understanding of marine ecosystems. Greater understanding of natural ecosystems contributes to greater stewardship in the long run, because students are considered future stewards of the resources. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The public purpose of this project is to provide 20 4-6 grade teachers with a work shop to facilitate the sharing of research results on ocean acidification and climate change conducted around the state of Alaska and specific to their local areas. The workshop is to take place in March 2015. Participating teachers will be from schools in small communities in southeast Alaska. The format of this teacher workshop has been developed jointly by the ASLC and NPS based on joint workshops conducted over the past ten years. NPS staff will be co-leading the workshop with ASLC staff, and thus involved with almost every aspect of planning and conducting the workshop. Staff from both the ASLC and NPS alternate delivering lectures and facilitating different methods of learning according to respective expertise. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Alaska SeaLife Center will be coordinating the logistics of the workshop on location. This will include issuing travel stipends, arranging lodging and meals for teachers and non-government researchers, and locating and arranging facilities for the workshop itself. The ASLC will be leading the post-workshop assessment, including any associated travel to schools, and some of the virtual classroom visits through the use of their distance learning technology. In most other aspects of the workshop, the ASLC will be working side by side with the NPS, including: 1. Collaboratively work with NPS staff to plan times, dates and other logistical details of the workshop. 2.
