How to Find Your Blue Mind
Have you ever noticed how much calmer you feel after taking a dip in the ocean or watching a sunset over the coast? Turns out there is science behind why we feel happier when we are on, around, near, or under water. This toolkit will dive into blue mind science and guide you on how to strengthen your relationship with water to create community action — whether you live on the coast or inland.
How to Give a Successful Talk
Are you interested in giving an educational talk to your community? Public speaking is a valuable tool for communicating and raising awareness about the ocean’s beauty and fragility.
