For Kids
We’ve long been champions of engaging the younger generation in ‘ocean literacy’, because when the next generation understand the plight of the ocean they’ll be more motivated to safeguard it! Whilst we’re all at home, bringing the #OceanIndoors.
Live Lessons
Want to change up the homeschooling routine or bring some ocean optimism into your classroom? Our education team are here to help.
We’re running free live lessons for young people to learn more about our ocean. Check out the recordings of our previous lessons on turtles, climate change, plastics and more on our YouTube channel, or register for our upcoming dates below.
Ocean Superheroes
Our Ocean Superheroes live lesson looks at some of the fascinating underwater habitats found here in the UK like seagrass, maerl and kelp. We’ll be exploring common species, where they can be found, and how these superhero habitats help combat climate change.
