Future Future Frogmen is part of Connecticut SCUBA Academy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and public charity that works to improve ocean health by deepening the connection between people and nature. By growing a community of like-minded stewards of the ocean, we are improving the public's awareness and appreciation of the ocean, and closing gaps between human understanding and destructive behavior. Particularly relevant to us is that the ocean is responsible for influencing our climate and weather patterns, and maintaining the carbon and weather cycle that is vital to life on Earth. We aspire to foster ambassadors to protect the ocean by accomplishing five objectives:1.) Learning - Through multidisciplinary learning, we listen to scientists, and also artists, authors, business people, photographers, public health and political representatives, social justice and religious figures, and others. 2.) Communicating - Through personal storytelling (writing, speaking, audio podcast, and video), we make ocean information understandable and relatable.3.) Acting - Through enriched field-based actions, such as coastal cleanups, we share best practices and information about how to reduce ocean plastic, which includes alternative behaviors and advocacy at the state and local levels. 4.) Leading - Students take on impactful roles that help further our cause as well as their personal leadership development. Examples include contributing written content (blog), being a host or a guest on our online "Conversation Series" (videoconferencing and podcasting), public speaking opportunities, organizing and leading community outreach events, a variety of internships (non-profit business management, science advisory), and sponsored explorations.5.) We support students in ways such as financial scholarships or fellowships, to help them get out of the lab and into the field.
