HAWAII STUDENT STEWARDS ART CONTEST

SHOW OFF YOUR CREATIVE SKILLS BY JOINING DOLPHIN QUEST HAWAII'S STUDENT STEWARDS ART CONTEST

Understanding marine animals and the ocean is crucial for student stewards as it fosters environmental awareness and empathy, instilling a sense of responsibility to preserve these vital ecosystems. By gaining knowledge about marine life, students can actively contribute to conservation efforts, promoting sustainable practices and ensuring the well-being of our ocean for future generations. We’ve created an exciting art contest to help these stewards show off their artistic talents while learning about important conservation topics that will ultimately protect marine animals and our ocean.
