EarthEcho invites you to play along with us during “Snack-Sized Science”. These 15-minute interactive science demos with the EarthEcho team are meant to help your young-learners get excited to investigate the fascinating world of SCIENCE and hopefully explore more of EarthEcho’s digital resources...maybe even on their own! Snack-Sized Science: Chalk It Up to Ocean Acidification Join us as we dive into pH and ocean acidification. Get ready to play along with your own experiments as we guide you through this demonstration.

Join us and Dr. Sturdivant as we take a deep dive into the preeminent scourge of our ocean, dead zones. Dead zones are hypoxic (low-oxygen) areas in the world's oceans and large lakes, caused by excessive nutrient pollution from human activities coupled with other factors that deplete the oxygen required to support most marine life in bottom and near-bottom water.

Approximately 600,000 sea birds die each year by getting caught on hooks used in line fishing. Twenty-three species of sea birds facing extinction are vulnerable to these methods of fishing. A device called the Hookpod, invented by a UK company in Devon, has a clever solution to this problem. The fish hook is designed to reduce birds being caught on hooks, learn more about bycatch and the engineering of this device during our live 45-minute event, Friday, February 14th at 9 a.m. EST.

Join filmmaker and explorer Philippe Cousteau alongside journalist Ashlan Cousteau as they discuss their extensive work in international ocean and environmental advocacy. During this live event, hosted by EarthEcho International, participants will be able to ask questions via video and chat. Philippe is the founder of EarthEcho International, a leading nonprofit founded on Philippe Cousteau, Sr.'s belief that youth have the power to change our planet. Through EarthEcho, Philippe and Ashlan, now with their daughter Vivienne, support the activation of the world's youth in tackling the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Join us to find out how YOU can take action TODAY to change the world!

Sea turtles are a keystone species for ocean ecosystems. They are telling us the health of the ocean, which in turn tells us the health of the planet. At The Sea Turtle Hospital at Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC), the number of sea turtle patients coming in has not slowed down. Many of the sea turtles that are treated in the hospital have injuries or illnesses that are human-related including unintentional boat strikes, constriction injuries due to fishing gear, and ingestion of marine debris. Through water quality monitoring and other citizen science programs, LMC is able to tie in ocean health with education and encourage guests to take action to protect our local ecosystems. In this session, Caroline will discuss LMC's work to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles by promoting conservation of ocean ecosystems.

Join EarthEcho international and Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Program as we highlight how students are using art to raise awareness of marine life conservation. Learn how the Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Program is activating the next wave of ocean leaders through the arts, science, and advocacy!

Join EarthEcho International and the Marine Mammal Foundation of Australia for an engaging 45-minute virtual field trip. Learn more from Dr. Kate Charlton-Rob, the Executive Director of MMF and Head of Research as she tells us more about the unique marine mammals of Australia and the impacts plastic has of them.

Join EarthEcho International as we talk about tagging technology and sharks with OCEARCH! Since 2012, OCEARCH has been on expeditions conducting research on apex predator sharks in the North Atlantic, to enable research that would help solve the puzzle of the life history of these keystone species.

If you were not able to view the event live, please tune in below as Jenny Newland and Vicki Fenwick from the Canaan Valley Institute discuss the importance of wastewater while taking you on a tour through their greenhouse, which uses recycled wastewater.
