#OceanDecade Challenge
Thousands of young people across Canada are taking on the challenge as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science.

Learn how data, science and our choices contribute to the health of the ocean and how we all can play an active role in ensuring its future sustainability, by taking on the #OceanDecade Challenge!

This program - created by ONC in partnership with Girl Guides of Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada - is designed to encourage young people to participate in the United Nations (UN) Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), and to understand the crucial role that Canada’s three oceans (the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Arctic) play in their lives.

Dive into the activities, share your voice and inspiration, and earn a cool crest by visiting the program’s interactive website.

By focusing on 7 societal outcomes, the UN hopes that people all around the world will use “the science we need for the ocean we want”: a clean, healthy, productive, predicted, safe, accessible and inspiring ocean!
