NOAA Celebrates Teachers Leading Ocean Conservation Projects Nationwide

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is taking time to recognize the educators who inspire the next generation of ocean protectors.

In celebration of National Teacher Appreciation Day, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is paying tribute to teachers nationwide who guide students through meaningful marine conservation projects.

These dedicated educators serve as the driving force behind the Ocean Guardian School program, leading hands-on environmental stewardship activities that connect students directly with ocean and coastal conservation efforts.

The recognition highlights how teachers across the nation are making environmental education come alive in their classrooms and communities, fostering a new generation of ocean advocates through practical conservation work.
