The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher is hosting this Aquatic Wild workshop via zoom taught by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.

The Aquatic WILD program is for formal and non-formal educators interested in teaching young people about aquatic wildlife and ecology. Aquatic WILD materials build upon developments in wildlife conservation needs as well as advances in instructional methodology in Pre-K through 12th grade education.

We will zoom for two 90- minute sessions and participants must attend both dates to get credit.

The guide contains field investigations, In Step with STEM activity extensions, connections to wildlife careers, new activities on fish conservation and angling, and an increased focus on outdoor activities. Participants are eligible for 6 hrs. of Criteria I credit of NC OEE Environmental Education Certification and schoolteachers receive CEU credit.
