🌊 World Ocean Day is celebrated every year on June 8th to raise awareness about the importance of oceans and the need to protect them. Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s🌎️ surface and provide food, oxygen, and livelihoods for billions of people. This day encourages individuals, communities, and organizations to take action against pollution, climate change, and other threats to marine life. 🐟 By caring for our oceans, we are helping ensure a healthier planet for future generations.

As a founding member of Project Oceanology, Ledyard Public Schools has provided students and teachers with immersive, hands-on marine science experiences for 54 years.
This spring, Ledyard High School seniors spent a day conducting a beach cleanup at Pine Island, documenting marine debris and learning about the impacts of pollution on Long Island Sound.
Dave Bednarz, a Science Teacher at Ledyard High School and a Project Oceanology Board Member, states, “Project Oceanology has been an integral part of Ledyard since 1972. We’ve engaged middle school and high school students, including those taking college courses, by actively participating in all the educational programs that Project Oceanology provides for each grade level. For about 20 years, we’ve had an Ocean Bowl team, and Project Oceanology has been an inspiration to our kids who have been immersed in it since a young age, gaining a love for the ocean.” Dave noted that there was a moment in time when Ledyard almost lost Project Oceanology due to budget cuts. However, after securing the trophy at Ocean Bowl, the students had the chance to present the trophy to the board and express their desire to continue attending Project Oceanology.
After the beach cleanup was finished, to recognize the seniors' achievements and the conclusion of the academic year, Mr. Bednarz arranged an end-of-year BBQ to celebrate their success.
