Sea Level Rise represents an important climate hazard to many coastal locations driving the need for increased literacy and awareness on this topic. Through an education program funded through the NASA Science Activation Program, our team has sought to create activities to increase understanding and access to local historical sea level rise data and future local sea level rise projections. Additionally, these activities draw upon social science research into attitudes on climate change, as well as human perceptions of time and measurements in their design to create educational products that increase sea level rise literacy as well as tackle common issues on perceptions of climate hazards. 

We will highlight the Sea Level Rise Friendship bracelet activity as an example of an  educational activity that connects users to data presented in the interagency National Sea Level Explorer and explore how it was designed to increase understanding of local sea level rise science across the Gulf. This will include how the activity has been intergrated with other locally-focused, solutions-oriented educational activities to foster climate resilience education in a variety of formal and informal settings.  We will also provide an overview of participant evaluation results of this activity as well as future training opportunities for participants interested in utilizing these educational materials in their programs.
