| 2nd Grade Winner from 2014 |
We all know that trash on our beaches and in the ocean is U-G-L-Y!!! It is also not healthy for seabirds, seals, fish, whales and all of the beautiful creatures that live in the sea.
If you are in grade Kindergarten through 8th grade in any U.S. state or territory, you can enter an art contest sponsored by NOAA.
Your art must be about marine debris.
What is marine debris?
It's all that trash that you and I make everyday. It is the trash that get's away from us and winds up in creeks, rivers, lakes, and the ocean.
Ask your teacher or parent about how you can enter this contest. Click this link "Keep the Sea Free of Debris" for more information about this contest.
The last day to submit entries is November 17, 2014.
