A Trip to Crystal River

Fall 2021 Wonder Challenge: A Trip to Crystal River
This video was created for the Wonder Challenge for the Fall 2021 Environmental Science, Politics, and Policy course taught by Dr. Kwame Owusu-Daaku at the University of West Florida. We partnered with Elizabeth Eubanks and 6th grade students from Dixon School of Arts and Sciences. We created a video answering the question posed by the 6th graders “I wonder…who is a marine scientist?”
Our video explains the struggle of a marine scientist, Sandy Cheeks, to find a group of manatees on a work trip to Crystal River. To overcome her struggle, Sandy and her friend Marina use their knowledge of the ocean and marine animals to help find the manatees. This knowledge mentioned is the knowledge that marine scientists all commonly use to accomplish their goals of research, conservation, and education to protect the oceans.
