Create digital storymap that interprets ocean life murals
This internship will consist of creating a storymap that will create an interactive platform for learning more about the marine life depicted in existing murals in a visitor center. These murals depict marine life right offshore of where they are displayed. The intern will pull together existing information about each of the species in the murals and organize the information and images to layout a storymap using the NOAA GIS platform. The final product will make the murals more accessible to more people as the product will live online whereas right now people have to see them in person to experience them. It will also create a more interactive element for visitors to the murals by creating a QR code to link to this online platform for exploration. The end goal is to increase interest, awareness, awe, inspiration about the marine life off the coast in our national marine sanctuaries. We will provide a stipend for the internship. Intern must have computer and internet access and use Google Drive.
