Our Birthday Wish
Can you believe Sea Smart started nearly 4 years ago? Since then we've:
- Educated over 30,000 students in-person
- Provided free online educator resources on ocean and freshwater plastic pollution to over 54,500 students in 17 countries!
- Launched an Ocean Plastics Education Kit that reached over 387,000 students in over 20 countries
- Become an Environment Canada G7 Task Force national partner in ocean education
- and so much more!
Sea Smart started on September 4th, 2016 by Dr Elaine Leung. Dr. E’s birthday is also coming up on August 30th! It’s an amazing coincidence that she also shares a birthday with one of the world's most amazing ocean heroes - Dr Sylvia Earle. Both women have dedicated their lives to ocean research and conservation. In fact, since September 2016, Sea Smart has educated over 450,000 students to love and protect our oceans!
As you may know, we cancelled our summer camps due to COVID-19. Without our summer camps, we are experiencing low revenues and rising costs. Yet we still want to continue to support families and students during this time by providing relatable and educational content.
As the global pandemic continues, so do ocean threats - including warming temperatures, ocean acidificiation, and plastic pollution. The oceans need our help and we cannot wait. Will you help us celebrate our birthday by donating to send more students to ocean workshops?
