Deadline: March 15, 2018

#SeeingBlue is calling for applications to its Young Ocean Champions Award 2018. The theme for the 2018 Award is ‘blue’ (ie sustainable) tourism. #SeeingBlue, aims to build a generation of young ocean champions, ocean leaders and stewards. It offers an opportunity for young people to identify and incubate ideas for sustainable ocean development through its Young Ocean Champions Award.

The Young Ocean Champions are then mentored and supported, through capacity-building efforts, to make these ideas a reality. In July 2018, the #SeeingBlue Ocean AdvocaSea Bootcamp will be organised in Mauritius to enhance key skills including leadership and project management. These will be complemented by scuba-diving sessions to inspire young people to protect the ocean through first-hand and practical experiences. Now in its third year, the Young Ocean Champions Award was launched with the aim of unlocking the potential of young people to develop the ocean economy. Applications are now open for the 2018 Cohort of Young Ocean Champions.
