To use art as a tool to educate, engage, and inspire coastal communities—especially youth—on the importance of marine conservation while promoting sustainable interactions with ocean ecosystems.

Our vision is to foster a generation of informed and proactive coastal community members who actively participate in marine conservation and sustainable ocean practices.
