About Oceans for Youth. - Conceived in 1998 and incorporated in 1999, Oceans
for Youth Foundation is a non-profit foundation designed to encourage
underwater education for youth. Using a variety of educational tools,
the Foundation plans to implement specific programs that will help
draw young people into being more aware and interested in the underwater
environment.
The mission of Oceans for Youth: to promote awareness, understanding, leadership and appreciation for the marine environment through the development, promotion and distribution of educational materials, programs and other media directly to youth. The primary goal: to interest and prepare youth for the joy and excitement of exploring and protecting the underwater world, utilizing educational institutions, teachers, parents and volunteers. It is the foundation's belief that a young person introduced early to the wonders of the oceans will naturally become much more environmentally aware and practice a lifelong attitude of ocean conservation and protection. Board of Directors: Oceans for Youth Foundation is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors who have all had long and successful careers in the dive industry. It is the intent of the Board to share their interest and passion for the oceans with youth. Wayne Hasson - President; Naples, Florida Advisory Committee: Jean-Michel Cousteau; Santa Barbara,
