Three Oceans Advocates focuses on: Tess Felix, an artist living in California; Dick Ogg, a fisherman from Bodega Bay, CA; and Barbara Crites, an underwater photographer from St John in the US Virgin Islands. Each of these individuals are taking actions that inspire hope for our ailing oceans. Our oceans are suffering from plastic pollution, climate change, acidification, and warming oceans. The ocean is lifegiving and provides over 50% of the oxygen we breathe. When our oceans suffer, we suffer.
These three advocates reveal how their experiences led them to making commitments to protect the ocean and share their work with their communities. Three Ocean Advocates shows that you don’t have to be a scientist to make a difference, each individual citizen scientist can contribute to a healthy environment.
