Sharing Knowledge, Sparking Change: Protecting Our Sea

Raising Awareness and Education

Education

Education is the main focus of the Healthy Seas Foundation. We strive to make a positive and long-lasting impact on the marine environment and the development of society through education and awareness raising, involving stakeholders from various sectors. Since

2013, our dedicated education team has been visiting schools in many countries in Europe, the US and Asia, organizing public events and holding virtual sessions for adults and employees to discuss marine pollution, climate change and the circular economy.

“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.”

Rachel Carson
