Featured ATE Resources

Here is a small sample of the valuable resources in ATE Central that focus on Marine Technology:

From the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC):

Eutrophication: Too Much of a 'Good' Thing

http://www.ateec.org/store/...

This activity describes the effects of phosphorus and nitrogen on surface water. The activity is meant to provide a real world application for Environmental and Marine Biology where students observe, setup, and count common pond microorganisms. Access to the lesson requires quick and free registration with ATEEC.

From the Marine Advanced Technology Center (MATE):

The Bridge: An Ocean of Free Teacher-Approved Marine Education Resources

http://www2.vims.edu/bridge/

The Bridge, from the Virginia Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, is a growing collection of the best marine education resources available online. It provides educators with a convenient source of accurate and useful information on global, national, and regional marine science topics, and gives researchers a contact point for educational outreach. On the site, visitors will find lesson plans, career information for students, and a resource center of books, links, aquariums and more.

From the Northwest Center for Sustainable Resources (NCSR):

Northwest Center for Sustainable Resources: Marine Fisheries Series

http://www.ncsr.org/materials/

The Northwest Center for Sustainable Resources (NCSR) has developed a series of materials focused on technical issues associated with mitigation of wetland loss and construction of new wetlands, and recovery of marine ecosystems that support restoration of fish populations. These materials address topics identified as essential to increasing the knowledge and skills of natural resource technicians. This focus helps natural resource technicians meet the future demands placed on our natural resources. NCSR's marine fisheries materials include lecture-based modules, an instructional guide, activities, and a set of comprehensive resources to complement the educational materials here. They are designed to be easily adapted by faculty. These materials and modules provide faculty with new scientific research and management practices associated with the recovery of ecosystems and are designed for incorporation into their instructional materials. To access these materials, scroll down to the "NCSR Marine Fisheries Series" section. NCSR's materials are free to use after filling out a brief registration survey and can be ordered in hardcopy or downloaded online.
