Louisiana Oil Spill Response Education Community Dianne Lindstedt Louisiana Sea Grant BTNEP Management Conference May 7, 2015

Informal Educators Response Developed a needs survey Met to develop response strategy Created a lesson/activity wish list Chose topics and wrote lesson plans Review, revision and edit process (Sea Grant) Educators conducted workshops Sea Grant partnered in Gulf wide video conferences (funded )

Who was involved in Louisiana? Education Collaborative Effort for fall 2011 LA Sea Grant LSU Dept. Education LA Dept. Wildlife and Fisheries, Angela Capello Aquarium of the Americas, Audubon Institute LSU Ag Center (Youth Wetlands Program) University Southeastern Louisiana UNO BTNEP LUMCON Environmental Education Commission Teachers Louisiana Department of Health

Survey Target: teachers, informal educators and science professionals Polled educators, generated list of 85 topics and questions. Chose 22. Three open ended questions Responses: 190 teachers, 30 informal, 28 science), Teachers, all grades, all subjects, 80% public schools Respondents represented 72% of the parishes

Top “5” topics of interest/need QuestionTeachers (189)Informal (30)General (28) Impacts on coastal habitats & wildlife121 Why wetlands are fragile263 Impacts on open water habitat & wildlife311 How spills are cleaned up454 How birds and animals are cared for after spill5811 Impacts on seafood quality and safety634 What actions people can take677 Fate of oil in the environment834 Dispersants, their use and impact on wildlife10512

Important but Bottom of the List QuestionTeachers (189)Informal (30)General (28) Basics of shallow and deep drilling Gulf water density, temperature and pressure21 15 Frequency of spills in Louisiana Technology to cap the well Oil spills are just one input into the sea How oil is produced and refined GOM seafloor topography Basics of oil and gas industry in Louisiana131910

Topics and Concerns from Respondents Misinformation from the press Need of good information Long term effects Human health issues Mental health Economics Food chain impacts Wetland loss and recovery prospects What can teachers /school children can do to help
