Olivia and Emily earned their B.S. degrees in Environmental and Biological Sciences from the University of Southern California (USC) in May 2019. While at USC, they developed a unique education program teaching marine biology and ocean conservation lessons in the Los Angeles public school system. The program included weekly interactive lessons, a beach-aquarium field trip for 120 sixth grade students, and the introduction of virtual reality into the classroom as an educational tool. The goal of their work is to inspire a new wave of marine scientists and conservationists through increasing accessibility to the world that lies “below the blue line.”
