Ocean Ambassadors

Our course ambassadors are passionate young advocates for ocean health, dedicated to inspiring others to protect and preserve our marine environments for future generations.

Imogen

Hi, I’m Imogen and I am 11 years old. I’m a younger sister to Ashton and proud owner of an adorable Cavoodle named Clyde. I love playing soccer and basketball, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with my friends. My passion for the environment began when I was young, and I’ve continued to focus on it ever since. As a student at Cannon Hill Anglican College (CHAC) and a leader in our environmental committee, I work to raise awareness and inspire younger students to make a difference. We’re especially focused on reducing plastic waste in our waterways, which is why I partnered with Seabin Foundation. We also encourage “Wrapper-Free Wednesday,” promoting plastic-free lunches among students. Protecting the environment in every way we can is essential. This course will help you appreciate it even more—enjoy!

Jack

G'day, I’m Jack and I am 11 years old. I'm an older brother to my brother Oliver, and I love surfing, playing Aussie Rules, and long-distance running. I have two cockatiels who love to fly around the house as they please. My passion for animals—especially birds and reptiles—started as soon as I could walk and has grown into a deep commitment to protecting the environment. I am a student at Cannon Hill Anglican College and a leader in our environmental committee, I work to raise awareness about environmental issues at school and encourage younger students to make a difference. I  partnered with Seabin Foundation because I am passionate about reducing plastic waste in our waterways. Partnering with Seabin Foundation has been inspiring, I love the course and I am committed to saving the environment however I can. I know this course will help you appreciate the ocean and learn how what we can do to save it. 

Adam

Hi, I’m Adam! I’m 10 years old and a Year 5 student at John Colet School in Sydney, Australia. I’m passionate about protecting the environment, so I created a website called KIDZ who CARE are AWARE. Through my website, I aim to raise awareness about issues like plastic pollution, recycling, and beach safety, helping other kids and adults learn how they can make a difference. I was especially inspired by the Seabin Foundation course which taught me about the importance of keeping plastic and rubbish out of the ocean and showed me how even small actions can make a big impact. I want to share what I learned with other young kids, so I created a section on my website’s Inspiration page all about Seabin and now I am a course ambassador. My hope is that other kids will feel inspired to care for our oceans, too!

Caragh

Hi,  I'm Caragh. I'm 10 years old, I'm one of three girls, and the oldest sister. I love reading and writing and being on the water.
I've grown up around animals because my Uncle is a passionate animal warrior and conservationist at Zoos around Australia. I am part of Wyong Christian Community School's Enrichment program. One of the programs we get to do is a 4-month research project on an eminent person who has made a positive impact on the world. We then get to be our person for a night and present our research to the school community.  I chose Pete Ceglinski from Seabin and got to learn all about the positive environment impact he and Seabin are having on our waterways. I got to volunteer alongside the Seabin Foundation team at the Ocean Health Lab. I absolutely love the work Seabin are doing and I am passionate about spreading the word to fellow young people who would like to learn more through the Ocean Health Course.
