Exploring the Ocean by the Seat of Your Pants

June 4-8, 2018

World Ocean Day is June 8th and we're celebrating with a week of Google Hangouts with leading ocean scientists and explorers from around the world.

No matter how near or far from the ocean you live, it plays an important role in our lives, from the air we breathe, to the food we eat, to the weather we experience. Most of life on Earth can be found in our ocean and it's likely where life first originated. Yet 95% of our ocean remains unexplored, we have better maps of the Moon and Mars than we do of the ocean floor.

This week we'll celebrate the beauty and biodiversity of our ocean while learning about the challenges it faces going forward from those who have dedicated their lives to exploring, understanding and protecting it.

Classroom camera spot sign ups begin May 28th @ 9am eastern.
