OUR PROJECTS
ECO-EDUCATION
Awareness through education
Eco-Education
If we want to preserve the planet, oceans and natural world for the next generation, what better way could there be, than by engaging young people in sustainability?
By involving them, we are creating environmental ambassadors of the future. GreenSeas Trust often gives talks and workshops at schools. At the heart of our ethos is behavioural change. By inspiring awareness at an early age, strong environmental foundations are forged.

Educating Future Ocean Ambassadors
Hallfield Primary School
GreenSeas Trust delivered workshops at Hallfield Primary School to explain how plastic pollution affects the environment and the importance of disposing garbage in the correct bin to help councils recycle waste.
St Edmunds Catholic Primary School
GreenSeas Trust conducted workshops at St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School to educate children aged 5 to 11 about plastic pollution and the importance of the 3R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Harbinger Primary School
GreenSeas Trust workshops cover activities such as, 'trash to treasure.' Children repurpose plastic items and writing a 'promise card' committing to help reduce plastic pollution.
Educating
Cruise Ship Crews
GreenSeas Trust created a series of posters for cruise ship crews to respect the pristine environments their ships sail into.
Not all seafarers fully grasp the impact of marine plastics on ocean health and their own livelihood. Leaving a cigarette butt or a single piece of litter on a beach kissing the Atlantic Ocean has consequences on the other side of the world.
Since most crew members tend to come from coastal regions themselves and have diets that include fish, the trust focused their attention to the effects of the lifecycle of plastics on marine animals and the toxins they release as they breakdown. This led to a successful outcome with beaches and beauty spots being left intact and unspoiled by garbage.
Educational Collaborations
GreenSeas Trust and Everyone Matters raised awareness about marine plastics using a live orchestra. Audiences were treated to nautically themed music as informative slides were shown in the background.
