Sky Ocean Rescue Programme & #PassOnPlastic Blog Competition

 Oceans are important to all of us… and they’re in danger

As a teacher, you have the power to influence the next generation to be mindful and sustainable consumers. Their attitudes and behaviours will determine the fate of our oceans.

That’s why Sky Ocean Rescue is encouraging secondary schools across the UK to use the Ocean Rescue topic as a springboard for creativity, learning and skill development.
