The goal of this project is to develop ocean conservation education program curricula for youth, focusing on Orcas in the Salish Sea. Sea Smart, a Vancouver-based charity, aims to inspire and empower kids to love and protect the ocean. This project will involve several different steps for the students, including:

- Researching ocean conservation topics and developing lesson plans.

- Developing activities and resources to engage youth in ocean conservation topics.

- Creating online resources and materials to supplement the curricula.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

- Research and lesson plans on ocean conservation topics, specifically Orcas in the Salish Sea.

- Development of engaging activities and resources for youth to learn about ocean conservation.

- Creation of online resources and materials to supplement the curricula.

Final deliverables should include:

- Completed lesson plans and research materials.

- Engaging activities and resources for youth.

- Online resources and materials to supplement the curricula.
