Youth Science Ambassadors: Empowering coastal communities to #knowtheocean

In communities along the British Columbia and Nunavut coastlines, Ocean Networks Canada’s (ONC) Youth Science Ambassadors are empowering students, teachers, leaders, and Elders to use high-tech ocean sensors and interpret the data to inform decision-making about their changing ocean.

Figure 1. ONC’s three newest Youth Science Ambassadors (left to right): Dennis Ongahak, Kugluktuk, Nunavut; Gibson Kelly Porter, Gjoa Haven, Nunavut; and Taylor Reidlinger, Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

In February, three of ONC’s newest Youth Science Ambassadors traveled to Victoria for two weeks of training at the start of their one-year terms (Figure 1)....

Ocean Network’s first Youth Science Ambassador passes the torch

When ONC installed a community observatory in Cambridge Bay in 2012, fifteen-year-old Mia Otokiak was inspired to get involved and learn about the ocean that surrounds her tiny hamlet. Five years later (Figure 1), she is fulfilling her dream of pursuing a science career, and helping other young people do the same.

Mia Otokiak attended ArcticNet in Vancouver as a panelist and co-presented
