Increasing Ocean Literacy and Citizen Science Opportunities for Submerged Cultural Resources in Florida
Author(s): Sarah Miller; Jeneva Wright
Year: 2018
Summary
In 2016 the Florida Public Archaeology Network launched a new program Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida) to increase scientific literacy among the public on impacts to cultural sites by climate change. More than 200 HMS volunteers monitored over 200 sites, both terrestrial and submerged. This paper will share results from the first year of the site stewardship program and take a critical look at how to increase ocean literacy, expand underwater citizen science opportunities, and raise awareness of impacts of climate change on submerged cultural resources.
