Three for me...
|
- Lead by inspiring. Nothing gets people excited about ocean conservation like a strong passion and personal connection to our "blue backyard." You can inspire a community of ocean stewards by simply sharing your love of the ocean with others. More info.
- Join the team! Chances are there is a watershed, river, or ocean organization in your community that could use an extra bright mind and helpful hands. World Ocean Day always needs you, too! More info.
- Make business bluer. Your place of business can become a leader for a sustainable future. There is an ocean of opportunities to "blue" your workplace. More info.

... and three for the seas
|
- Promote "schools helping schools". Contact your local schools and encourage them to help the schools of fish in the ocean by becoming more sustainable and involved. More info.
- Become a sustainable seafood advocate. Every community needs a good sustainable seafood advocate! Leveraging consumer demand for change is a powerful way to usher in a new era of ocean-wise fisheries. More info.
- Get the ocean in the spotlight. Do you wish there was something about the ocean in the local newspaper and on the local 6 o'clock news? You can use the power of local newspapers, radio stations, community groups, and businesses to get the ocean in the spotlight. More info.
