Ocean Friendly Mission

Sign up to our award scheme to make your school more ocean friendly

The Ocean Friendly Mission is an award scheme for primary schools. Sign up and complete a set of missions that when completed, will make your school more ocean friendly! There are three levels to complete:

  • Seaweed – beginner
  • Jellyfish – intermediate
  • Fish – advanced

To sign up, email WildCoastSussex@sussexwt.org.uk and we will send you the Seaweed, Jellyfish and Fish Award Mission Log Sheets. 

Once you have completed the different levels, send us the completed log sheets with evidence of each completed mission. This could be photographs, or any materials created while carrying out the missions such as posters. Once completed, you will receive a certificate of completion. 

The first five schools to complete the Seaweed Award will win 10 litter pickers! 

Good luck! 

We have created resource packs below to help you complete the different levels.
