1,000 Museum Visitors Dive Into NASA Sea Level Science on World Ocean Day
Over 1,000 visitors explored NASA sea level science at the University of Georgia Aquarium on June 6, 2026. The event was part of the SEAL project, which connects NASA data to coastal communities.
Why it matters
It provides coastal residents, especially in underserved areas, with tools to understand sea level rise and test adaptation strategies. This helps these communities better prepare for future environmental impacts.
The details
Visitors played 'Tumbling Tower' to see community impacts and made bead bracelets representing local sea level rise. The event took place at the UGA Aquarium on Skidaway Island.
What's next
SEAL aims to make all developed lesson plans available online.
