Since 2011, Bow Seat's Ocean Awareness Contest has invited teens all over the world to creatively investigate issues of ocean health, such as: plastic pollution, impacts of oil and gas exploration and drilling, and endangered species, as well as climate change and the range of issues that follow in its wake—coral bleaching, ocean acidification, extreme weather events, sea level rise, loss of biodiversity, and impacts on human communities.

Created by youth all over the world, this collection of "Short Films to Save the Ocean" provides an opportunity to learn, explore, meditate, and inspire. Watch with your quarantine-mates, or organize friends and classmates for a virtual screening. After each film, we have provided ways for you to learn more and take action on the featured issue. When it comes to saving our ocean, every action counts!
