MVYLI's Ocean Sustainability-In-Action Project: 2014-2015

Vineyard Youth Respond to Dr. Earle & Share Their Dreams for A Sustainable Future

"Living on an island, we all appreciate the ocean," said 17-year old Caley Bennett. "We see things a lot more clearly than people who might not live near an ocean. Oceans are very important to our island economically, and even socially," she explained. "The ocean brings everyone together."

"Our Project engages everybody: locals, wash-ashores, Island-borns, tourists, so we could make our cause their cause, so we could have a mutual understanding of how important the oceans are," said 15-year old Ava Thors.
