Launched in 2011, the Youth Ocean Conservation Summit is a collaborative, youth-driven effort coordinated in partnership with Mote Marine Laboratory. Made possible by the collaboration of teams of youth leaders, conservation organizations, aquariums, zoos, science centers, schools, and universities, the Summit engages hundreds of youth from all over the world every year. The Summit is held annually at Mote Marine Laboratory, with regional satellite summits planned by teams of young people working in partnership with local conservation organizations.
