Ocean Heroes Bootcamp empowers existing and emerging youth leaders to create their own campaigns to take action against ocean plastic pollution. Through a collaboration with a group of ocean health organizing partners, the Ocean Heroes Bootcamp provides youth with the skills, resources, and confidence to create campaigns to tackle single-use plastic pollution in their communities. Ocean Heroes HQ fosters a globally connected community of youth around one central goal: to create and implement campaigns that permanently reduce plastic pollution. Campaigns created by Ocean Heroes support the achievement of UN SDG 14.1, “By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution.” Campaigns also support the Clean Seas campaign of organizing partner UN Environment.
The Remote Network of Ocean Heroes is a free, open-source curriculum designed to enable ocean health organizations, education institutions, and passionate communities to implement the Ocean Heroes Bootcamp content seamlessly into their youth programs.
Simply put, ocean literacy is understanding the ocean and our relationship with it. But the ocean isn’t so simple to understand! That’s why the Ocean Literacy Framework was developed.

What is the Ocean Plastic Program?
The Earth’s oceans, and the interconnected cycle of water and waterways, are vital to every living thing on Earth. And yet the health of these oceans, and by extension the well-being of all life on Earth, is at risk due largely to the impacts of human activity. Plastic is everywhere in our oceans and it’s going to take a deep, transformational change in humanity’s consciousness and activities regarding the oceans to ensure healthy, sustainable life on this planet.
We believe this is possible! But we need your help. Our youth need to be made aware of their own plastic use and how their actions will have a direct impact on the environment around them. Through these resources we hope youth will become leaders of change - and this all starts in your classroom.

Ocean Wise Kits pédagogiques pour les éducateurs et les étudiant(e)s
Sur Ocean Wise, nous aidons les éducateurs à introduire la culture océanique dans leurs classes et à donner aux élèves les moyens d'agir tout en renforçant leur lien avec l'océan. C'est exactement ce que font nos kits pédagogiques. S'appuyant sur les dernières données scientifiques et sur les recherches menées dans le cadre de nos propres initiatives de conservation, sur le boisement marin, sur la pollution des océans, sur les baleines, les fruits de mer et la pêche, sur les connaissances indigènes, ainsi que sur des pédagogies actives et constructivistes, chaque kit aborde les questions interdisciplinaires du changement climatique.
Chaque kit pédagogique est disponible pour l'école primaire (de la 3e à la 6e année), le collège (de la 7e à la 8e année) et le lycée (de la 9e à la 12e année), et est traduit en français et en anglais. Le guide de l'éducateur fournit des conseils détaillés sur la manière de mener les activités en classe et sur la façon dont les activités sont liées aux concepts du programme de cours spécifique. Les élèves reçoivent un cahier d'exercices pour réaliser des activités amusantes et interactives spécifiques à leur âge, telles que des jeux en ligne, des collages, des discussions, etc. En 2022, nos kits ont touché 81 000 étudiant(e)s de 79 pays.
Chaque kit a un thème réparti sur sept leçons et comprend un kit d'outils pour l'enseignant et un cahier d'exercices pour l'élève. Veuillez sélectionner le groupe de niveaux scolaires ci-dessous pour explorer les ressources disponibles.
Ocean Watch reports provide snapshots of coastal ocean health
Keeping our coasts and oceans healthy starts with understanding what is happening. The Coastal Ocean Research Institute (CORI) was established to do just that. Ocean Watch delves into what’s happening in our coastal ecosystems through a series of articles organized into seven themes: species and habitats, clean water, sense of place and wellbeing, coastal development and livelihoods, stewardship and governance, oceanography and climate change, and seafood. Our aim is to produce independent, credible, and engaging information so that you are inspired to make better decisions for nature and all the people who live along the coast in British Columbia.
From the exposed west coasts of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii, to the deep fjords and channels cutting into the British Columbia mainland, to the sparkling Salish Sea, diversity along the B.C. Coast is unrivalled. A rich array of sea life has supported Indigenous peoples along this coast since time immemorial and settlers have contributed cultural diversity over the past few centuries. Much of the B.C. coast is still relatively pristine, but the impacts of human activities extend far beyond population centers. Acknowledging that population growth, increasing resource extraction, and uncertain impacts of climate change are stressing the integrity of coastal ecosystems, many residents are seeking ways to improve the ways we interact with British Columbia's coast.

Howe Sound is a remarkable blend of wilderness and accessibility. It sits directly adjacent to the growing metropolis of Vancouver, yet also contains fantastic wild places and natural recreational opportunities. With the population and development growing quickly, many are wondering how it can maintain its ecological values and way of life. This report provides information to help guide decisions as the area grows and changes. Working with scientists and other collaborators, we have produced a series of articles on key elements of Howe Sound.

From the site:
OPEN has one mission: to improve the effectiveness of physical education for every child.
We help teachers help their students by providing rigorous, outcomes-based curriculum tools to every physical education teacher – no exceptions.
Equity of Access is essential for empowering the entire physical education community. US Games believes in the talents and creativity of the teachers and administrators that we serve. That’s why OPEN will always be free to every educator. This is not an ideal or philosophy.
It’s a movement.
