In this lesson, we’ll explore how designated Hope Spots play a crucial role in protecting marine ecosystems and maintaining ocean health. You’ll learn what makes these areas special and why they’re vital for biodiversity and local communities.
We’ll then dive into using technology to support conservation. You’ll have a chance to design, build, and code your own solution using the Climate Action Kit to help monitor and protect a nominated Hope Spot.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The SDGs are 17 goals create by the United Nations to help make the world a better place.
As you work on your Hope Spot project, think about these questions:
- Goal 13: In what ways could monitoring environmental changes help us address climate-related threats to our oceans?
- Goal 14: How does nominating Hope Spots help conserve marine life and support healthy ecosystems?
- Goal 15: How might safeguarding coastal and marine areas benefit habitats on land and the communities that depend on them?
