and leadership worldwide. The Ocean
Project empowers youth to become ocean champions and provides opportunities to connect directly with policymakers and corporate leaders. Among The Ocean Project youth activities, the World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council shapes and grows development of World Ocean Day and leads conservation action year-round. The Sea Youth Rise Up annual advocacy campaign was started on World Ocean Day in 2016, and is designed to connect youth from within and beyond The Ocean Project network and provide a platform for youth to express their ideas directly with decision-makers. The Ocean Project argues that "with nearly half of the world's population under the age of 25, it is imperative that young people step up as leaders at an early age."

Since its formation in 1997, The Ocean
Project has grown from a handful of founding North American organizations and aquariums into the world's most extensive network for advancing ocean education and action. Its growing network includes more than 2,000 partner youth groups, aquariums, zoos, science, technology, and natural history museums (ZAMs), and other education and conservation organizations, in 150 countries that together serve hundreds of millions of visitors and members each year. The Ocean Project does not market itself, instead "supporting and highlighting" partners by broadcasting their "innovative conservation-related activities" and collaborative campaigns.
