Waterfront Yoga & Cleanup with Blue Scholars Initiative

We empower youth to catch the prevailing winds in their sails, explore the wonders of Marine Science, and discover their crucial role in our Earth’s future.Blue Scholars Initiative engages students in marine biology, marine ecology and watershed concepts, providing a better understanding of, and connection to, the marine ecosystem and the impact of human stresses. Through hands-on, experiential learning, students further investigate the rich biodiversity beneath the surface, conduct citizen science and develop a passion for the environment, inspiring our next generation of ocean stewards to solve our most pressing and difficult issues.
