Marine Art for World Oceans Day


There are so many ways to celebrate World Oceans Day June 8, including making and sharing marine artwork. Learners and their friends at home, camp or school can create pieces of water-themed art—saltwater or freshwater—then hold a summer Marine Art Show for families, their whole school or camp, even their local community.

Learners can use any medium including collage from all recycled materials. For inspiration, check out the winning student artwork submitted for the NOAA Marine Debris Calendar Contest. The winning pieces, chosen from 600 submissions, will be featured in the 2016 Marine Debris calendar.
