Species Survival: More Than Just Sustainability

The Marine Team​

​

Our oceans are needlessly being harmed on a daily basis. In today’s ever-changing world, those tasked with conserving our planet’s resources are members of an elite squad: The Marine Team. This educational incursion engages students in marine science and innovation to achieve long-term species survival and sustainability of our oceans.

The Marine Team is a 45 minute, live-in-school, interactive science sketch comedy that consists of two professional actor/educators with two goals.
 

The first goal is to highlight

• What is ocean sustainability

• How oceans impact our planet

• Solutions that generate healthy oceans and

• How YOU can help to ensure the survival and thriving of different species in an ever-changing world.

The second goal is to make your students laugh so hard that they forget they’re learning!

​

The show consists of comedic and interactive science sketches, introducing crazy characters and relatable situations, delivered by our Actor/Educators. Student audience and volunteers become part of the action, and are encouraged to offer suggestions that the actor will incorporate. The result is that students get to have input in the show, while watching and learning!
