From the joy of watching dolphins play to the awe of a newly hatched sea turtle making its first journey to the sea, Florida’s coastal waters inspire us and remind us why protecting our oceans matters.

Our waters face increasing threats, from rising plastic pollution to habitat damage and declining marine wildlife. Now is the time for action to conserve fragile ecosystems like coral reefs, protect marine animals, and reduce pollution.

The Florida Youth Ocean Summit brings together young leaders, students, and educators to learn, connect, and take real steps toward ocean conservation. Through interactive workshops, educational sessions, and networking opportunities, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to become a strong voice and take action for our marine environment.

When young people come together, we can drive change and build a future where Florida’s oceans thrive.
