Introduction
Often young people living close to the ocean but under their national poverty line have never even seen the ocean. Our project aims to engage 80,000 young people a year in ocean conservation and work to create youth ambassadors to help save our ocean by engaging their wider community..
Report
This project is the start of introducing the awareness of marine conservation. We aim to inspire the youths to take action and even look to follow a career in conservation. Workshops, an additional trip into the Aquarium and other marine educational centers will be funded and access to internships will be made available to students who have shown a passion for the work. Creating awareness and providing education allows us to produce ambassadors for change. It costs us $11 to send one participant to a conservation workshop.
