Ocean Connectors is an interdisciplinary environmental education project that crosses borders and cultural boundaries, linking students to create a shared sense of stewardship and to promote an early interest in environmental issues. Ocean Connectors uses migratory marine species such as sea turtles, whales, and sea birds as tools to educate and connect youth in underserved communities on the Pacific Coast of the U.S. and Mexico. The program focuses on the migratory routes of these species as a way to illustrate the interconnectedness of oceans and ecosystems, helping students to form a global view of natural resources. Through a combination of class presentations by guest speakers, knowledge exchanges, hands-on marine science activities, journaling, and outdoor field trips, Ocean Connectors works to accomplish 3 goals:\\INSPIRE environmental stewardship by giving youth the capacity, knowledge, and awareness to practice coastal conservation.\\EDUCATE students to increase academic achievement, engagement, and support classroom learning goals.\\CONNECT underserved youth with diverse, hands-on learning opportunities in coastal environments.
