As coastal communities contend with sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and other impacts of climate change, public education has become a critical piece of the puzzle. Virtual Planet Technologies produces insightful and immersive experiences that communities can use to better understand the impacts of climate change and explore emerging adaptation solutions.

Save Our Shores, Virtual Planet Technologies, and Oceans360 have teamed up to create a virtual reality experience of our region's Marine Protected Areas to offer middle school students a glimpse of these magnificent underwater treasures and learn why they are vital to the health of our oceans and a healthy future of all life on Earth. Coastal Quest and Ocean Protection Council provided seed funding for this groundbreaking initiative.
