Join us on our mission to show the world the fragile beauty beyond the depths of the Great Lakes in St. Lawrence through augmented reality and interactive storytelling! ๐ (3/3)
Did you know that an estimated 900 beluga whales live in the St. Lawrence River? ๐ In case you need a geography refresher, the St. Lawrence connects the Great Lakes to Atlantic Waters. (1/3)
As majestic and beautiful as they are, belugas are sadly living on borrowed time โ toxic chemicals, pollution, algae blooms and underwater noise from ships have caused the pollution to dwindle from an estimated 10,000 to 1,000 over 140 years. (2/3)
Protecting & celebrating the Great Lakes St Lawrence ecosystem is a priority for our nations, states and communities. It is a shared responsibility. New interactive tool to protect Great Lakes Biinaagami showcased. @swimdrinkfish โฆ@CanGeoโฉ https://t.co/OCZb7Xkq1Q
The AR triggers on the map will transport you across time and place to learn how Indigenous knowledge can help ensure a clean water future for all ๐
By now, you've probably heard the term Augmented Reality (AR) many times. But what is it exactly, and how can it impact the way we see the world around us? ๐๐ฑ

What difference does an #interactive experience make? ๐ According to a University of Washington study, students taught through traditional lectures are 55% more likely to fail a class than those taught through interactive learning.
Thank you! The Great Lakes St Lawrence River watershed is the planetโs largest fresh water ecosystem & a shared responsibility of many nations, communities & people. Industry decision to create & bury deadly nuclear waste in watershed is reckless. @swimdrinkfish
