Mission

WE INVITED MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2022 OCEAN AWARENESS STUDENT CONTEST. PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO CREATE FILM, POETRY, ARTWORK, AND PROSE THAT REFLECTED ON THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND THE HEALTH OF OUR OCEANS.THIS IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEST THAT WEAVES TOGETHER OCEAN AWARENESS, CREATIVITY, AND ADVOCACY. ADVOCACY MEANS TAKING A STAND FOR SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE IN. IT REQUIRES PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS, ASSERTIVENESS, AND MOST OF ALL, KNOWING WHEN TO CALL THE WORLD TO ACTION.
