UVI Coastweeks Researchers Come to VIMSIA

Coastweeks is a nationwide effort coordinated by The Ocean Conservancy. Last Thursday two UVI Researchers visited with grade 7 students in the PGIA and Upper Elementary Montessori students to discuss marine debris as part of the Ocean Conservancy's Coast Weeks program.

Their talks prepared grade 7 for an upcoming a beach cleanup. The presenters also spoke to the Upper Elementary about ocean debris, island hot spots for garbage and how students can get involved in ocean clean-ups.
