Workshop supports deep-ocean education in American Samoa

On August 29-30, teachers in American Samoa held a first-of-its kind professional development workshop to enhance local ocean education with support from NOAA Ocean Exploration, Ocean Exploration Trust (OET), National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, and the American Samoa Department of Education. Featuring tours of Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus for teachers and reusable resources to share with students, the well-received event helped enhance ocean science education and career development in American Samoa for years to come.
