— Kate Schaberg, Kodiak 4-H program coordinator
Kodiak 4-H partnered with Alaska Sea Grant to bring Kodiak youth the opportunity to come together, clean up our beaches and make a statement with their art during the Kodiak Area Marine Science Symposium (KAMSS) and for Earth Day!
Just under 100 youth put on their rain gear, collected marine debris from our beaches and created fish mosaics for this project. The marine debris fish mosaics were on display during the entire week of the symposium (April 19-23) downtown at the Kodiak History Museum and the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. Photos of the display can be found on the 4-H event page. Join us in celebrating our youth advocacy. Photos and more project information can be found on our webpage.
Participants got a wooden fish, which they painted, and then glued and tacked on the debris they had collected. Participants included 4-H kids and other Kodiak youth, who took clear pride in their creations.
