This past week, we served as a host to the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration 2024 Coastal Ecosystem Learning Centers (CELC) Youth Summit 🌎 Eager young environmentalists from Aquarium of the Pacific, Mystic Aquarium, Audubon Aquarium, New York Aquarium, Oregon Coast Aquarium and Shedd Aquarium spent three days with our high school interns, Teen Conservation Crew mates and Aquarium educators to explore a myriad of local conservation topics. Students heard from a variety of speakers on topics covering environmental advocacy, scientific outreach, community resilience and more. In addition to interactive lectures, students toured the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Marine Resources Center and came face-to-face with a variety of with marine life, as well as assisted in the construction of wire reef builds to support local saltmarshes. A huge thank you to everyone involved in the operation of this incredible experience, and for helping to place these teens at the forefront of climate resilience!
