What educational tools are being developed as part of CBIBS?
CBIBS provides both real-time data and related curricula to educators for use in the classroom and in the field. NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO), in partnership with the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), is creating “Chesapeake Exploration,” a curriculum that will include specific Chesapeake Bay modules. Chesapeake Exploration will include professional development and training. Additional curricula, developed with CBIBS partners, will highlight historical, cultural, and local stories related to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail.
