Ocean Defenders Alliance Assembly

           On September 23, 2013 the Enviros held an informational assembly on marine debris hosted by Kurt Lieberman, the founder of the Ocean Defenders Alliance, an organization specializing in marine conservation. The meeting was held at Clark Magnet High School’s auditorium and participants included science teachers as well as over fifty students from the school. During the meeting, Mr. Lieberman addressed the harmful effects of derelict fishing gear on marine life and how his organization uses community volunteers to locate and remove these hazards. The meeting was held during the enrichment period therefore students voluntarily signed up for this event. Issa Al Hadeed, an Enviros member, was in charge of assisting Mr. Lieberman with his presentation at the event. The Enviros team played a major role in promoting this event by creating posters in order to gain publicity for the presentation.
