From beach cleanups to upcycling projects and coral reef protection, the book empowers young minds with knowledge and simple, practical ways to make a difference—wherever they are. Designed to be fun, hopeful, and visually engaging, the book is filled with colourful illustrations, ocean facts, and climate-friendly activities.

Together, we can spark a wave of change—one child at a time.
