Across the world, a new generation is taking the helm of ocean conservation. Young people are no longer waiting for change; they’re creating it. Through youth ocean engagement, students and emerging leaders are combining science, activism, and innovation to protect the planet’s most vital resource: the ocean.

Ocean science education is leading a revolution in how we think about and conserve these important creatures. With the help of new technologies, such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and interactive marine science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs, students and communities are learning why conservation of sharks is important and how they can participate in the conservation of our oceans.

The ocean is a place of wonder and discovery, but for students today, learning about it doesn’t require a trip to the ocean. With ocean education evolving so fast, children now have the chance to investigate marine environments, examine shark behavior, and simulate coral reef restoration projects, all through the power of technology.
