COSEE Island Earth

该奖项向夏威夷大学及其合作伙伴提供资金，以创建海洋科学教育卓越中心--岛屿地球中心(COSEE-IE)。在私营部门、州和联邦政府、正规和非正规教育领域拥有广泛的合作伙伴基础，欧洲海洋教育研究所建议建立一个合作网络，将海洋研究和教学与传统知识联系起来，以促进所有海洋使用者积极参与管理工作。该中心将侧重于：[1]为科学家提供机会和指导，以更好地参与更广泛的影响活动；[2]为海洋科学家和在夏威夷教育游客互动的团体(即海洋旅游经营者和救生员)创造机会；以及[3]将现代研究、传统知识和海洋政策联系起来，例如通过将夏威夷土著传统知识纳入COSEE传播海洋科学课程。

This award provides funding to the University of Hawaii and partners to create a Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence - Island Earth (COSEE-IE). With a broad base of collaborators in the private sector, state and federal government, formal and informal education, COSEE IE proposes to build a collaborative network that connects ocean research and teaching with traditional knowledge in order to facilitate active engagement in stewardship by all ocean users. This Center will focus on: [1] providing scientists with opportunities and guidance for improved involvement in Broader Impact activities; [2] creating opportunities for ocean scientists and groups who educate tourists in Hawaii to interact (i.e. ocean tour operators and lifeguards); and [3] connecting modern research, traditional knowledge, and ocean policy, for example by incorporating Native Hawaiian Traditional Knowledge into the COSEE Communicating Ocean Science Course.
