Greenpeace Oceans Project looking to partner with Hawaii Schools this December

Posted On: Dec 01, 10

In preparation for the upcoming West Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) meetings in Hawaii on December 6-10th, Greenpeace is coordinating a kids art project for the oceans, school visits and a presentation of student artwork to the delegates. Starting this week, Greenpeace is inviting elementary school groups to submit art projects that show their concerns for healthy oceans and robust fish populations. Participating school groups will have the opportunity to have Greenpeace volunteers visit their school to explain about the WCPFC, discuss the need for marine reserves, and why this is important to the future of pacific island communities. Participating school groups will also be invited to the opening ceremonies of the WCPFC on the morning of Monday Dec 6th to give their artwork directly to the delegates.

If you are an educator interested in participating in this exciting project or to learn more, please contact Phil Kline, Greenpeace Senior Oceans Campaigner.
