Eckerd College Youth Ocean Summit

Whether it’s the wonder of watching dolphins play or seeing a newly hatched sea turtle make its first perilous crawl, life in the Florida seas inspires and motivates us to protect our planet. We love our oceans and want to see decision makers take steps to protect them. 

With Florida’s coastal waters heating up faster than almost any other part of our ocean, and plastic waste increasing exponentially, now is the time to take action to conserve sensitive habitats like coral reefs, protect marine mammals and fight plastic pollution. When young people come together, we can make change and build a better future for life in our oceans.
