Letters to the Sea

Somos OceanoS, a Marine Life 2030-affiliated project, invites youth to be part of a global dialogue between youth and decision-makers in marine conservation through their Letters to the Sea initiative providing a unique glimpse into the youth´s perspective, voicing their challenges, ambitions and needs. Their goal is to collect 1,000,000 letters for an art exhibition at the 2025 UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France. Join this initiative! Below there is some information on who, what and why to participate.
  • Who can participate? Youth aged 3-22 years old from around the world.
  • What to write? Express your love for the ocean, share why we should care for it, or write your personal experiences. Drawings and letters in any language are welcome!
  • Why participate? Your voice matters! Letters to the Sea have been shown around the world, including at the UN Ocean Decade Conference and World Water Forum. Your letter might be adopted and answered by global leaders, making a real impact on marine conservation.
