Project POWER
The New York Aquarium launched Project POWER, a national training seminar
sponsored by the EPA with support from the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation. Participants represented 13 states with regulators from a
broad range of agencies. The project stresses the need for a commitment to public
education to protect our national wetland heritage and infuse marine science and
wetlands conservation not only into a school’s curriculum, but also into a community’s
curriculum. Project POWER is working to create the beginnings of a national network of
state agency-environmental center partnerships with the capacity to provide educational
workshops to wetland violators as well as to community members who live in
environmentally sensitive areas so that violations can be avoided before they occur.
