OceanEcho 30x30 is an initiative led by EarthEcho's Youth Leadership Council designed to amplify the collective impact of youth-led action to protect 30% of our world's ocean by 2030. This toolkit provides the resources for young leaders to plan and implement educational events focused on ocean protection and 30x30.

Adapted from the Water Planet Challenge You Have The Power Action Guide, this audit tool will guide youth through the evaluation of home energy use to increase energy efficiency at home.

Commercial trawling has a devastating effect on biodiversity in areas where it has been used. Large commercial trawlers have been historically decimating both marine environments and significantly decreasing stock levels to a level at which they are unable to recuperate. The impact on communities sitting on the seafloor, known as benthic communities is devastating, the primary culprit being drag trawlers with beams of up to 12 meters, and several beams often deployed at the same time. This lesson looks at the effect of commercial trawling on both fish stocks and benthic community biodiversity. Students will understand relative sizes and impacts of large-scale fishing operations, and devise a plan to reduce the impacts of trawling. Students perform percentage calculations and analyze graphs.
