Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |

| We create "Color and Learn" Books and Beach Bags for kids that have the Healthy Tide Pool Rules on the back and Sea creatures like endangered turtles on the front. We send educators into schools to promote Wildlife Conservation. We go to schools whenever asked to appear and also attend book fairs and events for children that promote healthy oceans and forests etc. A program for one class usually lasts about 45 minutes, but we often do two presentations in a day. | $212 | - |
