Aeon for Ocean (www.aeonforocean.org), a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit kids-based organization in Minnesota, founded in 2017 by now eight-year-old Aeon Bashir. It is focused on ocean conservation and environmental stewardship. Through free presentations, sing-a-longs and discussions, Aeon and the other Ambassadors share their enthusiasm for the ocean, marine life and its conservation with Minnesota school classrooms. During spring to fall, free lake beach clean-up events are held in and around Twin Cities, to help people inland understand how their actions can make a difference in protecting the world oceans and marine life. Through our ‘Krill2Whale’ program and other initiatives, ‘Aeon for Ocean’ is teaching kids they can save the World Oceans for eons!
Our mission is to educate and increase awareness about ocean conservation and marine life amongst kids and their greater role in spreading the message to drive action.
“Aeon for Ocean” has created ‘Krill2Whale’, a shared learning program focused on educating kids about marine life and oceans to achieve the following objectives:
• Learn about marine eco-system, its importance and one’s role in protecting it
• Participate and promote activities to protect our oceans from inland
• Increase awareness about oceans by sharing knowledge in schools and communities
