The document summarizes the results of needs assessments and market analyses conducted with teachers and environmental educators in the Homer, Alaska area to identify gaps and opportunities in coastal education. The assessments found that while most teachers address topics like marine science and climate change, there is a need for more programs in physical oceanography, especially at the middle and high school levels. They also found that educators and teachers want more professional development and training opportunities focused on climate change issues. To address these gaps, the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve plans to develop new programs and workshops on physical oceanography and climate change topics for students and teachers.
