Our next generation is counting on us to make sure that the ocean is there for them. Whether training future scientists or advocates for the oceans, the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation will fund education programs to prepare our children to understand their role in saving our oceans.
Guy Harvey’s inspirational artwork and television programs will expand to new media, used by our next generation, with lessons of commonsense conservation and responsible activity on the water and at home. The Guy Harvey Ocean Laboratory will come alive in classrooms and community centers across the world to motivate aspiring scientists and stewards of our oceans.
The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation is working with educators, scientists, and multi-media specialists to design innovative education programs for schools, community groups, and learners at home of all ages. The messages and lessons will be so personal that each of us will understand our individual roles in conserving our oceans.
With funding from the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, the GHRI is a scientific research organization based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, at the Oceanographic Center of Nova Southeastern University, minutes from coral reefs and popular fishing grounds. GHRI was established in 1999 as a collaboration between the renowned marine artist Dr. Guy Harvey and NSU’s Oceanographic Center to assume a leadership role in providing the scientific information necessary to understand and save the world’s fish resources and biodiversity from drastic, ongoing declines. GHRI is one of only a handful of private organizations dedicated exclusively to expanding the scientific knowledge base needed for effective conservation of fish populations and maintenance of fish biodiversity. Among other accomplishments, GHRI scientists use DNA research to demonstrate the advance and/or decline of fish populations as well as the illegal trade of endangered species. |
