Making Waves Through the Arts

Sea the Reef provides an innovative space for teens to connect, create, and communicate for our ocean. Our program works at the intersection of ocean science and arts education.

The artistic process is a means to investigate knowledge and feelings about environmental issues. It is our responsibility to uplift and support the young leaders who work to build innovative solutions for the care of our blue planet. 

We provide underserved teens the with the opportunity to live out the message of ocean conservation on the field as explorers & environmental artists.

Imagination and creativity become powerful tools to envision, advocate, and enact positive change.

Creative arts are a vital tool to learn about issues impacting our environment, connect more deeply with nature, and bring communities together to care for our deep blue seas.
