Tijuana Estuary Teacher’s Guide

In this guide produced by the National Estuarine Research Reserve, high school teachers have access to activities, lesson plans, reading, and maps relating to the Tijuana estuary in southern California. While many activities are specific to this locality, several of the guides can be used generally to focus on an estuary near you. Some examples are activities focusing on measuring water quality, constructing food webs and virtual habitats and reading about human interactions with the estuary to understand its history and human consequences. Included is a chapter on ecology, geology, history, language arts and human use.
