Cabrillo Aquarium (March 2002) - NOAA has a special relationship with Cabrillo High School in Lompoc, California. Situated just north of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, the school has taken the simple idea and concept of using an aquarium as a teaching laboratory to its finest stage -- the wonderful aquarium that is the focus of this video. Under the tutelage of teacher Dave Long, the aquarium is managed and operated by the students of Cabrillo. It is a world-class, architecturaly designed facility that is the pride of the school, the residents of Lompoc and surrounding cities, and educators throughout California. The Office of Global Programs shares this pride by our own long-term interaction and involvement with Dave Long and the students and staff of Cabrillo High School.

The ship will service the TAO array along both 95 degrees and 110 degrees west longitude as well as continue work associated with the Eastern Pacific Investigation of Climate (EPIC) project.

Kid Science in conjunction with Hawaii Public Television - In January, 2002, OGP was featured in a television series on Climate Change. As well as providing an on-camera personality, OGP supplied lots of B-Roll, and copies of the award-winning Monograph series "Our Changing Climate" for distribution to linked schools. The series "KidScience" is produced by the Hawaii Department of Education and Hawaii Public Television. The programs are geared for 4th to 8th graders. This is a three part series of live, hour-long broadcasts. Programs are broadcast once a week and sent to sites across the mainland and throughout Hawaii via satellite. KidScience is picked up by PBS stations, cable consortiums, school districts and individual schools. KidScience has been delivering distance learning series for eight years.
