Week of the Ocean Photo Gallery
The Broward County Schools participate in the Week of the Ocean "School Marine Fair" yearly, each spring. Students K-12 may submit entries in the following categories: ocean-themed posters, ocean-related science projects, marine crafts, ocean art, poetry, satire, underwater habitats, and cds or dvds on a marine topic. Teachers may enter the "Lesson Plans" category. Entries are judged by professionals, and displayed in a public place. Ribbons and trophies are awarded. We encourage all of our ocean-minded students and teachers to be involved in the Week of the Ocean Fair.

What is The Week of the Ocean?
Week of the Ocean offers four ocean awareness concepts: the Campus Event, the School Marine Fair, the Community Festival and the Local Chapter. Outreach programs include National Week of the Ocean and the sharing of such marine education programs as Mr. and Mrs. Fish and seachanteyman Tom Callinan with South Florida.
Each of the Week of the Ocean programs can operate independently but are most effective linked together to produce a unique learning experience which unites all citizens, ages and endeavors in the common goal of appreciation and protection of the ocean. As Week of the Ocean expands, it uses its own experiences as pilot programs providing ideas and guidance for other organizations and communities.  More…
