SeaDoc Society invests $270,000 in 6 research grants

It’s impossible to achieve benchmarks like 30 years of reef monitoring without engaging youth. Scientific and conservation work rely on intergenerational collaboration to be at their most effective. The older generation may have more working knowledge and experience. But the younger generation brings new perspectives and a fearless approach. ⁠
⁠
This is why we do community outreach events and invest time/money into programs like Dive Into Science. It’s all about nurturing kids and young adults into active climate activists who are just as ready to jump in the water as they are to speak up in town halls.⁠

Connecting with communities and building hope are key factors in ramping up climate efforts. ⁠

Over 50 people turned out for the Ocean Hoptimism event at Faction Brewing in California last month on the topic of kelp forests. The speakers were Natasha Benjamin and David Helvarg from Blue Frontier, an ocean policy nonprofit.⁠
⁠
Reef Check also participated in the event! Our team shared how scuba divers can help kelp forests by collecting scientific data. Long-term data, in turn, reveals the health status of local reef systems over time.⁠
