Clean Ocean Action’s
Virtual Spring
Student Summit
BY LORI DRAZ
Each spring, Clean Ocean Action (COA) hosts its Spring Student Summit
at Sandy Hook, part of Gateway National Park. It’s a fun and educational
way for school age children to begin building loyalty to defending
the oceans. The event was held the week of May 11, but this year,
in an effort to respond responsibly to the numerous COVID-19 restrictions
in place, the program moved to the virtual world with 500 students from
25 different schools throughout northern and central New Jersey joining
in the experience. Though the attendees couldn’t actually get sandy, they
pre-recorded by the region’s notable and knowledgeable scientists, naturalists
and education professionals. The students learned about pollution,
its sources and prevention, reviewed data from the Beach Sweeps and
made new friends in the virtual classroom.
