Our program targets misconceptions about land-based sources of marine debris in the US Virgin Islands through K-12 learning. Currently, there is no Caribbean-specific marine debris curriculum for USVI teachers to draw from. Our project transformed curricula developed by Oregon Sea Grant into Caribbean-specific marine debris curricula. This presentation will share our methodology for converting curricula and give tips and tricks to convert Caribbean Marine Debris curricula into curriculum suited for other locations to facilitate place-based learning.
