Deadline: October 15, 2018

Millennium Oceans Prize on SDG 14 2018 is now open. Now in its fourth
year, the Millennium Oceans Prize supports and celebrate students who
are passionate about conserving, protecting, and sustainably using
oceans, seas, and marine water and life.

The Millennium Oceans Prize targets Sustainable Development Goal 14 by
celebrating youth activists who are focused on enriching their
communities through advancing marine and freshwater conservation and
sustainable use of marine resources. Prize winners will recieve
mentorship and a $5,000 prize for implementation of a concrete campaign
idea to spark change and garner support in advocacy, policy, and
leadership for oceans and freshwater systems.

They are looking for campaign ideas that are concrete and can rally
your peers to mobilize in this sector. *How can you engage youth leaders
on other campuses and in communities across the globe to fight for and
champion advocacy and leadership for the oceans, freshwater systems,
sustainable fishing, and marine conservation? Your campaign could take
shape through activism, social entrepreneurship, or research. How will
you mobilize your community and inspire youth leaders world-wide to take
part in the fight for sustainable practices that protect our oceans and
freshwater systems?
