Abstract Details

2013, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
The purpose of this practicum is to help Lacawac Sanctuary visitors better understand ecological monitoring and spark their interest on the data being collected there. Researchers and other guests visiting the sanctuary currently have little information about the monitoring taking place on site. To fill this void, Lacawac visitors have been provided with educational materials, displays, and a program that focuses on ecological monitoring technology and its importance to understanding the ecology of lakes. Specifically, these materials are an educational pamphlet, an interpretive sign, information for Lacawac's website, and a short lesson plan. All of the educational materials highlight a monitoring platform on Lake Lacawac along with the parameters it measures and how the data collected are being used. Now people of all ages and backgrounds visiting Lacawac Sanctuary can enjoy, appreciate, and understand the usefulness of ecological monitoring here and throughout the world.
