Ocean Heroes:
How WE Can Save the Sea!
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!
This page might look a little wordy, but sometimes, we need to explain important things. Please bear with us – we promise to keep it as fun and interesting as possible!
The ocean is a giant treasure chest, filled with amazing creatures, hidden wonders, and secrets waiting to be discovered. Without science, many of these secrets would remain hidden forever. Scientists are like brave explorers who use their knowledge and special tools to unlock the mysteries of the ocean. That's why we are working with a team of ocean scientists that will help us, and you to develop a better understanding of the amazing life beneath the waves and inspire us to love and respect the sea.
There are so many amazing organizations around the world where people come together to make a difference! Some are big and international, like the United Nations, while others are smaller and local, like groups that clean up beaches or help animals in need. We think that every action, wether, big or small, is important and can make a difference!
For example, imagine if 1 billion people turned off the water while brushing their teeth and only turned it back on to rinse their mouth. That would save a huge amount of water! That's why it's important to remember to do this yourself and to encourage your friends and family to do the same. Every little bit helps
We are very lucky to live on this planet. It's a truly special place, full of amazing things and wonderful surprises. Unfortunately, sometimes things aren't perfect. People can get angry or feel sad, and they don’t behave well. But don't worry! Most people are kind and want to help. When there's a problem, it's always better to work together to find a way to solve it, maybe with the help of someone. Just like sometimes you don't agree with your best friend and become grumpy, and your older sister or father helps you to make peace.
Countries can sometimes have disagreements too. That's why grown-ups created the United Nations. It's like a big club for almost every country in the world where people try to be wise and figure out how to solve problems together. Imagine if all the kids in your class started arguing and wouldn't play together. That wouldn't be much fun, would it? The United Nations helps countries talk it out and find peaceful solutions, just like how your teacher might help you and your friends find a way to play together again.
Sometimes, people in different countries have problems. Maybe there's a flood or an earthquake, and the people affected will need help. Just as you rely on your mom's hug when you have a fever, people in need depend on the help of others.
The United Nations sends food, water, and medicine to help people who are in trouble, just like your friends might bring you a toy when you are sick.
The United Nations also works to protect our planet. They want to make sure everyone has clean air and water, and that we take care of the Earth for future generations. It's like taking care of your favorite pet – you need to be sure they are clean, have enough food, and make sure they have a nice home so they can have fun!

The UN has set the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, to make the world a better place by 2030. It might sound a little ambitious, and it's true that achieving all of them might be a challenge. But that's okay! Even if you don't achieve everything right away, it's important to keep trying and never give up. Just like learning to ride a bike, you might fall down a few times, but you keep practicing until you get it!
One of these goals is called 'Life Below Water,' and it's all about protecting our oceans and the amazing animals that live there, like whales, dolphins, and colorful fish!
Imagine the ocean as the heart of our planet. It keeps everything healthy and happy! But the ocean is like a giant puzzle. If one piece of the puzzle is missing or broken, it can affect the whole picture. That's why it's important to take care of every part of the ocean.
Lots of people are working together to protect the ocean, just like a big team! We can all be part of the team too!
We can help by being kind to the ocean, like not leaving litter on the beach. You can even find a local group that helps protect the ocean and see how you can get involved! Remember, even though we're small, we can make a big difference!
Let's work together to keep our oceans healthy and happy!

We've been talking a lot about the ocean and its amazing creatures, and that's super important! But there are many problems we need to solve to make the world a nice place for everyone.
To help us make our planet a healthier and happier place, grown-ups have created 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals aim to ensure that everyone has a good life.
