A Wave of Change
Nearly 3,500 teens from around the world created Art, Film, Music, and Writing exploring the impacts of climate change for the 2019 Ocean Awareness Contest. Stay tuned for 2020 program announcements later this summer!
Creativity in Conservation
Our programs inspire ocean conservation through creative investigating and making. We believe art is a powerful way to explore issues impacting our oceans, connect more deeply with nature, and bring communities together to care for our blue planet.

“The Ocean Awareness Contest engaged my students in learning, adding a real-world element to last year’s climate change-human impact science unit. All students were excited by the creative connection to the science curriculum allowing them to display their learning in unique ways. As a teacher, I was thrilled to witness how the students dove into their research eager to learn more about the problems and possible solutions.”
