The
NOAA
Ocean
Exploration
program
strives
to
engage
broad
audiences
to
enhance
America's
environmental
literacy
through
the
excitement
of
ocean
discovery.
Increasing
this
literacy
requires
high-quality,
effective
collaborations
between
ocean
explorers
and
America's
teachers.
NOAA
is
forming
such
collaborations
to
reach
out
in
new
ways
to
the
public
to
improve
the
literacy
of
learners
with
respect

This
lesson
plan
will
help
students
to
understand
that
the
way
a
community
disposes
of
its
wastewater
may
negatively
affect
local
aquatic
habitats,
that
it
is
possible
to
find
wastewater-disposal
methods
that
do
not
pollute,
and
that
both
governments
and
citizens
can
take
action
to
ensure
that
waste
water
will
be
disposed
of
in
a
way
that
is
not
destructive.
As

explores
the
plant

animal
communities
that
exist
within
an
estuary.
Specifically,
it
examines
the
planktonic,
pelagic,
benthic
and
intertidal
communities,
and
focuses
on
organisms
that
are
characteristic
of
the
community,
how
scientists
investigate
these
organisms,
and
why
such
organisms
are
important
to
the
biological
community
of
