Oceana has released their list of finalists for the Ocean Hero award. As always, the finalists represent people who have done some amazing things for our oceans. This year, one of the nominees for the “Junior Hero” category is Sophi Bromenshenkel, an 8 year old shark conservationist.
Oceana is accepting nominations for their Ocean Hero award until April 27th. There are two categories: adult (over 18) and junior (under 18).
According to the contest rules:
“Any individual who has volunteered, organized, cleaned up or otherwise acted in a way that benefits the world’s oceans, its inhabitants or the communities and peoples that depend on ocean resources may be nominated….Nominators may nominate themselves or other people, but Nominators must be at least 13 years of age or older. There is no limit on the number of nominations an individual may submit.”
If you know of someone who is helping our oceans (including yourself), you can nominate them from this site. You can see last year’s finalists here. Happy nominating!
