Peace Boat US is proud to be a recognized contributor to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development through our Youth for the SDGs programs and other ocean-related initiatives. Endorsed by IOC UNESCO, our programs create experiential learning opportunities for youth activists and community leaders from around the world who are advocating for the SDGs. These programs are conducted 2-4 times per year onboard Peace Boat. Through partnership with EarthEcho International, Youth for the SDGs participants are provided water testing kits which they use in ports of call to test PH levels, temperature, turbidity, and oxygen levels in water samples. The water testing kits create a valuable opportunity for young people to participate in citizen science through monitoring of ocean conditions and providing important data to the Oceanographic Data Exchange.
