Clean Ocean Action Graduates Its Latest Class Of Student Ocean Advocates

A ceremony will be held Monday night at Monmouth University for the latest class of Clean Ocean Action Student Ocean Advocates.

The six students were selected from local high schools to participate in the program because of their love of the environment.

The teens were educated about current environmental threats to the ocean, asked to chose a compelling issue and implement a campaign.

This class chose the threat of Liquefied Natural Gas facilities and created public service announcements.

“After working with all these students, I’m really confident that they are going to be the next generation to make waves for our environment,” says Tavia Danch, Clean Ocean Action Pollution Prevention Coordinator.

Former Greenpeace USA Executive Director John Passacantando will give the keynote address at the graduation ceremony at 7 pm at Monmouth University in the Club Dining Room at Magill Commons.
