  "account": "On June 6, 2026, more than 1,000 visitors at the University of Georgia Aquarium on Skidaway Island celebrated World Ocean Day by immersing themselves in NASA's sea level science. Supported by NASA's Science Activation program through the Sea Level Education, Awareness, and Literacy (SEAL) project, the free event featured hands-on activities developed in partnership with NOAA Sea Grant programs. Participants engaged in the \"Tumbling Tower\" game to understand community impacts of rising seas, crafted bracelets using colored glass beads to symbolize sea level rise, and interacted with an augmented reality sandbox that visually demonstrated coastal transformations under NASA-informed projections. Educators left with SEAL lesson plans tailored for classrooms and informal learners, aiming to deepen understanding of sea level rise processes and resilience strategies.",
