Ocean Guardian Pledge

Join the Hawai`i Ocean Guardian Kid’s Club and Contest to win hotel accommodations from Outrigger Hotels and cool Swatch watches.  The kid’s club and contest is to encourage children around the country to explore the Hawaiian Islands to form a sense of connection to the ocean and coral reef ecosystems around these islands in the Pacific Ocean.  The kid’s club and contest offers children a stimulating opportunity to express their insights, observations and understanding of the ocean and coral reefs through the creation of original poetry, a short story or visual art.  The contest offers students an opportunity to compete for exciting prizes.  All K-8 students are eligible and encouraged to join!
