As Jacques Cousteau said, “people protect what they love.” But before you can love something you need to know it, and there’s no better way to learn than through total immersion within the blue universe we’re fighting to preserve and protect. This belief guides the curriculum of Parley Ocean School, a unique program blending ocean activism with learning and exploration on, around, and in the marine environment.

Through a series of global marine expeditions, Parley Ocean School (POS) aims to educate and empower a new class of ambassadors for the movement. Each session is dedicated to deepening scientific understanding of marine cultures and environments, with a focus on promoting stewardship, awareness, and solutions in local communities. Every POS alumni leaves with a renewed understanding of their role in this world, and of the actions they can take to protect it in the office, by the sea and at home.  

“To be in the Maldives surrounded by some of the most pristine oceans in the world with such a powerful group of activists and environmentalists is definitely an uplifting experience. I will certainly be returning home with renewed enthusiasm.” Iain Kerr, CEO, Ocean Alliance / Parley Ocean Ambassador

Re: Parley Ocean School: The Maldives

Thanks for sharing @Badruddeen.

Keeping the ocean free of plastics is a huge task and certainly some initiatives have started taking shape. Two days ago there was a complete ban on the use of plastics in our city and state but implementing it successfully is the key.

 

Cheers!
