Project Description
This project tackles marine environmental challenges through three interconnected actions: eliminating single-use plastic, promoting renewable ocean energy, and encouraging algae-based diets. We aim to reduce plastic pollution by advocating reusable items and community awareness. Simultaneously, students will explore wave and tidal energy through STEM activities and guest talks, learning how renewable ocean energy reduces reliance on fossil fuels. To address overfishing, we will introduce the benefits of algae as a sustainable food, including cultivating DIY seaweed farms and hosting algae-tasting events. These actions are designed to educate and empower students, educators, and the wider community, fostering eco-conscious behaviours and strengthening the connection between everyday choices and ocean health. Our objectives directly support sustainable living, environmental literacy, and carbon footprint reduction, while nurturing future citizens who are aware, engaged, and active in protecting our marine ecosystems.
Impact Assesment Tools
Current Project Impact
The following scores were calculated using a statistically-driven machine-learning approach, a type of AI that learns to perform a task by analysing patterns in data. This is an experimental approach to citizen-science impact assessment, and the exact reasoning behind the scores is not explainable. The scores represent a best guess of the impact the project is having in each domain. Scores are recalculated and updated when “View impact report” is clicked.

This is the beginning of a journey (some would say a "trajectory" ) along more than 200 questions. Don't worry; you don't have to answer them all at once. Do something, and come back some other day. You will find a lot of help along the way, and if you're generally happy to start, just click on "Ok, I got it!" below. If you're unsure how to answer a question, again, don't worry, answer it in the way that makes most sense to your project and you can always come back and change it later. If you still have doubts about life, the universe and everything, now or later, head to where to find help for advice and all the clarity you might look for.
