| Our friends at Oceana are accepting nominations for their fourth annual Ocean Heroes contest, which recognizes people who have made lasting contributions to ocean conservation. Ocean heroes can be scientists—like the first hero, John Halas, who worked with coral reefs—educators, conservationists, or more. Last year's Junior Hero was an 8-year-old girl named Sophi, who raised money for shark conservation through bake sales and lemonade stands. Nominate your ocean hero at oceana.org/heroes by June 20. You can also pledge to be an ocean hero yourself this summer! | | | | | | You are receiving this message because you opted to receive e-mail from the National Aquarium.
