Earth Day 4 for 40 Poster and Coastal America Staff at Congressional Casting Day

Hard to believe that this year marked the 40th Earth Day! One of the activities we undertook was to share the beautiful Earth Day poster developed by the Coastal America Partnership (http://www.coastalamerica.gov/). The "4 for 40" Poster promotes a "rivers to the sea" watershed theme. The poster was developed by the Coastal America Southeast Team, EPA, CWRP and CH2MHill. It encourages folks to get involved and commit to 4 things for the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day.
The poster also directs folks to the Coastal America website which has 3 Earth Day related links:
1. The "4 for 40 poster" link includes Earth Day related activities, a pledge site, an interactive testimonials site and a kids hemisphere site.
2. The "Learning Center Network" link directs people to our network of aquariums and science centers (of which the Alaska SeaLife Center is a member) to learn more about Planet Ocean and how to get involved in learning center activities.
3. The "Oceans" link connects folks to clips from the new Disney Oceans Documentary that was released for Earth Day, educational materials and ocean information sources such as NOAA and other science organizations.
We'll continue to use the poster and related Coastal America materials on watershed-marine links going forward - stay tuned to the Oceans Today Kiosk that we expect to open in late May.
