Nearly surrounded by the Atlantic, Nova Scotia's identity is tied to the sea. Fishing villages dot a coastline of cliffs and sandy bays, where whales, seals, and seabirds are constant companions. Inland, rolling farmland gives way to forests laced with hiking trails. One of the most exciting visitors to the region is the bluefin tuna—massive, torpedo-shaped fish the size of a small car—that migrate through these waters each year.
An innovative educational initiative combining science, technology, and storytelling to inspire ocean literacy. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ocean School develops interactive learning experiences that connect students worldwide to marine science and conservation challenges.
Halifax is a working port wrapped in wild edges. Just beyond the harbor, rugged headlands and offshore islands shelter seals, seabirds, and sweeping ocean views. Beneath the surface, divers find a different side of the city—where lumpfish hover like tiny sentinels, flounder vanish into the sand, and lobsters patrol rocky ledges. And the lobsters of the right size end up on local plates, tying the city’s seafood traditions directly to the cold waters at its doorstep.
