E-mail summary of Goodwin Meeting
December 20, 2000
Dean and Hugh left a few minutes ago and I think we had a productive
meeting. Ken and Gary were here to share some technical perspectives. I
was able to get Madeleine, Chrys, and Justin Manley (AUV lab) to stop in to
discuss some topics of mutual interest.
Regarding the use of Fleetlink data in the classroom we bounced around the
following ideas:
1) get lat/lon included on the KUA catch reports from the Adventurer to
allow the localizing of catch without having to correlate with the MET
data,
2) provide KUA with a decryption means and send Adventurer MET data
directly to KUA,
3) help KUA understand Adventurer data by providing results of recent work
(Hall-Arber, et al.) in oral histories and fleet demographics,
4) view KUA as a potential resource for teacher education in implementing
an expanded program of K-12 education using Fleetlink, and
5) view education as an additional motivation for keeping the data flowing.
We also discussed KUA's collaboration with Bridgeport CT on science
education using aquaculture. I showed Dean the curriculum Brandy has
developed on marine finfish culture for highschool science/math education.
Those two need to chat. KUA could be a useful collaborator for training
teachers in using the curriculum.
If our NOPP renewal proposal can include education outreach, then we should
explore with with Dean how we might capitalize on KUA's initiative.
Where were we thinking for the next meeting location? Our conference room
is available those dates.
