Wrapping up MSC160 with a bang! 💥 Today we talked all things ocean—from coral restoration to deep sea mining—with the bright minds at Marist St. Francis Elementary in Lepua.

It was an honor to engage with the next generation of ocean guardians and environmental advocates in American Samoa. By empowering these students to speak up for our ocean and environment, we are investing in the long-term sustainability of our island home.

Keep using your voices, kids! Our American Samoa waters are worth the fight. 🇦🇸💙🌊
