| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Green Abalone restoration project- we outplanted 57 eight-year-old abalone on the Orange County coast this year. We have seven classrooms of students growing them in schools and we have trained 60 volunteers to help us survey them on our coast. We teach students ocean chemistry, aquaculture, abalone anatomy, kelp forest ecology in a year long program in schools to compliment this restoration work so that young people know the story of how our abalone disappeared. We are preparing a publication summarizing all the work we have done on our reefs to locate and measure abalone populations. We are working with local and state government to relocate an imperiled population of abalone. |

Students learn about ocean chemistry, aquaculture, kelp forest ecology, and conservation while growing the seabass for release in December and June. Students also have the opportunity to snorkel to see the underwater world for the first time. |

This form of food production is viable in places where water is scarce and allows us to grow food where we live while teaching valuable lessons in water chemistry, fish biology, and plant biology. This is considered a "green tech" job and we hope to inspired kids to get jobs in this field. |

We conducted 15 clam surveys with more than 400 volunteers and worked with 360 students in middle and high school to try and figure out how to grow them. We had two high school students present their research at local science conferences and we are partnering with a local shellfish farm to further our research. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 1 | Norcal Kelp- A marine heatwave destroyed 600 miles of kelp forest on California's north coast. More than 800 species rely on them. With over 10 years experience restoring kelp in Southern California, we have started a project to help restore these lost forests in Mendocino County. Last year, we removed 23,746 pounds of purple sea urchins from urchin barrens in Caspar cove. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 2 | Kelp Sargassum- After restoring the giant kelp forests of Orange County, California, we continue to monitor their health and survey for invasive species. We conduct 8 different surveys twice a year with 10 volunteer divers and work with student interns to analyze and present our data to the community. |
