Education
Ocean Literacy Program
At Saving the Seas, we believe that teaching children about our oceans and planet is key to protecting them for
future generations.
Let's Learn Together
Children are the future voices for our oceans and now, partnering with parents and educators, we offer free educational resources that can be implemented to any curriculum. Here, parents and educators can find lesson plans, worksheets, assets and more educational fun to dive in to the world of our oceans and teach our youth how to protect it for future generations to come.
​
Each lesson plan was put together by our team of volunteers, including parents, teachers, educators, marine biologists and conservationists. Click on the link to access downloadable resources.
