COVID-19: Marine related resources for kids during lockdown

Our friends at Pangeaseed have produced three volumes of coloring in companions. Each features five original coloring pages, created by some of the SeaWalls artists, and has accompanying information on marine environmental issues, action steps and statements from each artist Pangeaseed plans to publish more volumes over the coming weeks.

The coloring companions are a free resource but if you are able to make a donation to support the organization (and its amazing Sea Walls project) this is very much appreciated. In addition, they are hosting a live Color With Me and the Sea webinar on 17 April at 1 pm PST.

Author, photographer and educator Annie Crawley has made several of her video tutorials available for free as a resource, In addition, her eBook, Hide & Seek on the Reef aptly subtitled The Adventures of Ocean Annie, Makaio, and Fringy the Ichthyologist Fish is also not available to download without charge from the Apple book store. It combines images, video, and text:

Join an underwater adventure with your guides Ocean Annie, Makaio, Fringy the Sarcastic Ichthyologist Fish as they explore our ocean with their submarine. They are a special group of friends and can talk to all the animals in the sea. They are looking for Finnagain the Shark to replace his satellite tag as they explore how fish feed, cleaning stations and so much more. This is the first ebook created with interaction of these amazing cartoon characters and real ocean scenes complete with ocean images and high definition videos. Kids learn about scuba diving, exploring our world, and how they can join our team to take action for the ocean.
