WETMAAP materials are designed for use by<br />
secondary education teachers, undergraduate<br />
and graduates students, university and college<br />
professors, informal educators, and local and<br />
regional government officials.<br />
The <strong>Airborne</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Program</strong> has supported<br />
the WETMAAP program and selected workshops<br />
since 1995. Support has consisted of<br />
funding, ASP photography and digital imagery,<br />
and <strong>NASA</strong> satellite imagery. Also members of<br />
the <strong>Airborne</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Program</strong> staff have participated<br />
in WETMAAP workshops as trainers<br />
and guest lecturers.<br />
Through use of the WETMAAP website<br />
(www.wetmaap.org), educators can increase<br />
their ability to promote student<br />
awareness of, and interest in, wetland and<br />
relevant ecological issues. The website is an<br />
accessible source for satellite images, aerial<br />
photography, topographic maps, workshop<br />
outlines, and other Internet sources.<br />
In <strong>2008</strong>, the WETMAAP team conducted<br />
field visits to Panama in February and Wallops<br />
Space Flight Facility in May to develop<br />
new study sites for future workshops. As<br />
a result, two Panama WETMAAP workshops,<br />
including field trips, were conducted<br />
