Inspiring students to become passionate and empowered coastal residents
Ocean Connectors was founded on the realization that many schoolchildren do not have equal access to explore their coastal environment. Our vision is to cultivate a future generation of passionate, globally-aware, and empowered coastal residents who take active steps to enjoy and protect ocean health.
Goals
Educate
students to increase academic engagement, support classroom learning goals, and motivate them to pursue ocean-STEM careers.
Inspire
environmental stewardship by introducing children to the tools, knowledge, and awareness to actively practice conservation.
Connect
youth with the ocean and provide access to diverse, hands-on learning opportunities in coastal environments.
How You Can Help
You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that their resources are their own, that they must protect them.
