Aloha Ocean Lovers
There has been a lot happening over the last 4 months. Since we touched down on solid ground back in December, it's been nonstop; it's all coming together. Some of the projects ECC is currently moving forward with are highlighted in this report. Be sure to check our web site for more information.

Our 1st Trash-N-Fashion Show in Santa Cruz, April 2nd. See what teenagers have created from the waste of society. They will be showing off their art as they stroll down the Cat Walk. Joining them will be local clothing designers revealing the new spring summer fashions. All of the fun is to gather the community and give an environmental presentation about the plastic pollution accumulating in our ocean and food. Come join in ! We are looking for volunteers.

"Food For All"
ECC has partnered up with NorCal Aquaponics and local educators to create a unique program.
Restore through The Aquaponics System Intensive
The Need:
The Oceans provide a major food source for much of the world's population.
The Problem:
The Oceans are running out of fish due to overfishing, pollution, environmental changes, etc.
The Solution:
ECC's Food For All program is designed to support the oceans and our earth to produce food for the human population while maintaining ecological balance. We teach how to grow organic greens hydroponically, fish and shrimp locally and sustainably, keeping harmful substances out of our water and food. Creating jobs while helping communities become more self reliant.
