Parley Ocean School initiatives take an immersive approach to environmental education, connecting learners of all ages with the knowledge, tools and inspiration to act. Developed with a global network of educators and experts, our in-person and online lessons balance local and global issues, connect big-picture thinking with immediate impacts, and instill in each individual a sense of place and agency within the movement to end today’s biggest marine threats. We tailor programs for local communities, corporate groups and are rolling out physical Ocean Schools at our AIR Stations throughout the world, starting in South Africa, Hawai’i and Chile.
