COME DIVE WITH US!
Connecting communities to the ocean and fostering ocean stewardship is what we do. From teaching people to swim, to inspiring the next generation of change makers, our programs and activities are designed to empower a global community of explorers.
Our STEM-inspired place based education programs are anchored with strongly perpetuated citizen science and marine ecology themes. We focus on creating hands-on activities to connect communities to the ocean, understand it better, and work together to conserve and protect this amazing ecosystem.
Let's become the difference we want to see!
~ConnectOcean uses Citizen Science and Marine Ecology Education in local communities and schools to raise awareness about creating more multi use regenerative community managed Hope Spots.
