Our broad and effective outreach and education activity teaches important marine conservation messaging to students, visitors, and residents in Hawai’i and anywhere in the world both in physical settings and using virtual tools. We regularly conduct outreach events at partner venues, and participate in community events, while our teaching resources are used by educators both in Hawai’i or anywhere. Our goal is to inspire behavior change, create ocean stewards, and connect children and adults to our ocean ecosystem.
Hawai’i Marine Animal Response makes teaching tools available to educators both in and outside of Hawaiʻi. These tools can be used to teach learners as young as preschool and as old as undergraduate college courses. We focus on interactive, inquiry-based learning methods that engage students in conservation by promoting solution-focused discussion, problem solving, and critical thinking abilities.
Please inquire below for lessons or learning opportunities your classroom is interested in.
If you are looking to bring ocean conservation curriculum to your classroom as a teacher, we offer a number of different resources.
Downloadable Curriculum
HMAR has developed a number of learning guides for educators to use in their classrooms, no matter where they are. Use this curriculum in your own way to get your students excited about the ocean!
These guides are designed for certain age groups and tackle different topics. We are continuing to develop learning guides, so we may not be able to accommodate your specific needs at this time. Reach out to us directly to learn more.
Educational Videos
HMAR has developed short videos for educators that want to teach marine conservation in their classrooms. Students can learn about animal response, rescue, release, and watch lessons on different topics. Use these videos in your classroom to supplement material, or pair them with one of our learning guides.
If you’d like HMAR to present to your classroom virtually, reach out to us. We’d be happy to accommodate your needs with notice.
