Reefs are biodiversity hotspots and provide safety and housing for many different ocean creatures.
Unfortunately, they are under stress from human use and ocean warming/acidification due to climate
change. The good news is that organizations like Ocean Wise are working to help combat these
conservation issues to help the reefs flourish again. Everyone has a role in protecting our oceans and
there are many things you can do from home to help. This activity helps explore at home conservation
actions that can help save the reef home of our favourite ocean creatures.

Le plastique est omniprésent dans nos océans et il va falloir une transformation profonde de la conscience et des activités de l'humanité concernant les océans pour assurer une vie saine et durable sur cette planète. Nous croyons que c'est possible! Mais nous avons besoin de votre aide. Nos jeunes doivent être sensibilisés à leur propre utilisation du plastique et à l'impact direct de leurs actions sur l'environnement qui les entoure. Grâce à ces ressources, nous espérons que les jeunes deviendront des leaders du changement.
