WHY PUT ON AN OCEAN SCHOOL?
Based on the four SAS pillars, these activities are a fun way to take action for the ocean. We want young people to feel closer to the areas they love, and learn how they can protect and improve them.
SAS PILLARS
Water Quality
Ocean & Climate
Ocean Recovery
Plastic Pollution
Ocean School doesn’t just educate young people about these issues. It gives them fun ways to see, hear and collect the evidence for themselves. Showing how even the smallest activist can make a huge difference, no matter where they live.
