Thematic statement : Climate
effects the Northeast. What
are we measuring at Boston Harbor Islands National Park?
Measurable Objective(s):
Interp/Educational Technique(s):
Create an interactive & permanent exhibit off the dock of
Georges Island that measures sea level rise & provides nonstatic local info on sea level data on a visual board to be
