GIS Day Presentation

           On November 20, 2013 the Enviros presented their projects to the public at Grand Park, Los Angeles. The theme of these projects is marine debris. These projects consist of online story maps and posters that document the projects that the Enviros conducted. The Enviros presented these projects in order to spread awareness of the threat of marine debris pollution to marine life. The story maps contained coordinates of various sites that were surveyed and they include vivid pictures and detailed descriptions of the locations that were surveyed. The Enviros created posters depicting their data and visual images that exemplified the proliferation of marine debris. Charts, tables, and pictures were provided to give the viewers a chance to learn about the growing issue of marine debris in the ocean and to provide them with an understanding of the cause and effects of marine pollution to marine life. Additionally, Enviros members hosted booths where they presented information to the public about Clark Magnet High School, their environmentally friendly methods of using energy, and information about research programs at the school itself. Through multiple presentations, the team was able to convey the information that they gathered from their studies. The presentations was successful in spreading awareness about environmental conservation and in educating the public about marine debris at Grand Park, Los Angeles.
