Leadership

Program

Developing students into marine
champions for Victoria. 

Our award-winning program for primary schools has developed over 9500 ambassadors from 97 schools across Greater Melbourne into environmental stewards for 25 years. 

Our award-winning i sea i care program was developed by the Dolphin Research Institute to showcase to Victorians that “what lives around our coast is too precious to lose”. Our surveys highlight Victorians misconceptions about the significance of our unique marine ecosystems and species, when more than 90% of Victorians value the marine ecosystems in other states above their own. This is a critical block to success for everyone who works on coastal and catchment issues.

i sea i care takes a long-term strategic approach. This provides added value to current marine education programs with on-going communications that are relevant and accessible to a much wider audience. i sea i care has a proven track record of developing young leaders by providing real and relevant experiences that enrich the Ambassadors and their school community.

Thank you to our partners for your support.
