The Millennium Oceans Prize is returning for its eighth year to support and celebrate students who are passionate about conserving, protecting, and sustainably using oceans, seas, and marine water and life.
The Millennium Oceans Prize targets Sustainable Development Goal 14 by celebrating youth activists who are focused on enriching their communities through advancing marine and freshwater conservation and sustainable use of marine resources.
The Millennium Oceans Prize, presented by Millennium Campus Network (MCN) and the Remmer Family Foundation, celebrates youth activism advancing Marine and Freshwater conservation, and sustainable use of oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and marine resources. MCN are seeking to support student leaders who’ll create concrete campaign ideas to rally fellow peers and youth leaders: for the oceans, freshwater systems, sustainable fishing, and marine conservation.
The objectives of this Prize are reflected in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #14. The Prize and Campaign it enables are supported by Millennium Campus Network (MCN) and the Remmer Family Foundation. The annual Oceans Prize was launched in 2015; this is the eighth edition.
