THE ECOMARINES MISSION
Phew, thank goodness. We've got a special rescue mission just for you... We need your help to create a wave of environmental change!
This mission contains top secret information and tools on how to help the environment. You will have a lot of fun, and at the same time teach your friends and family on how they can help, too. Don't forget to report back to us when your mission is completed so that we can thank you for your help.
Penny, Kylie, Hannah & Dini
p.s. We also have a How You Can Help mission for grown-ups.
If you prefer to get 'hands on' with your missions, then we have a printable version for you!
Good luck, and welcome to Team EcoMarines!
REPORTING FOR DUTY
MISSION # 1
Let's get to know each other before we start saving the world!
EcoMarines is a not-for-profit organisation based in Southeast Queensland, Australia. Since 2015, we have been working with schools, businesses, community groups and experts to change behaviour and care for the environment.
These videos will tell you more about us, and why this mission is so important to us...

Now please, let us know a little about you...
TOP SECRET INFORMATION
MISSION # 2
Next, we need to learn more about what we're trying to rescue: The Environment. These files aren't really top secret - this is really interesting stuff that you can share with people to help them care!
There are many different types of habitats in the world... forests, wetlands, beaches and oceans are just a few!
The important thing to know here is that they're all connected. Rain in the forest washes into rivers which run into wetlands and flow into the ocean past the beach!
Click on each below and take the quiz!
CHOOSE YOUR SECRET WEAPONS
