Circle of Life
Everyone can agree that land touches water and air touches all.  
All things are connected.  
Man is directly and indirectly connected to all.  

Our actions no matter how small and insignificant can have real, large scale impacts on the environment.  

If we poison our land, it will affect the foods we grow and the animals that live there.  If we pollute the waters, fishing and the health of the marine ecosystem will degrade.  This is evident, everywhere.  
It is now time to take ownership of our planet!

We must work together to provide a healthy environment for plants, animals and our future generations!
Everyone can agree that land touches water and air touches all.  All things are connected.  Man is directly and indirectly connected to all.  Our actions no matter how small and insignificant can have real, large scale impacts on the environment.  If we poison our land, it will affect the foods we grow and the animals that live there.  If we pollute the waters, fishing and the health of the marine ecosystem will degrade.  This is evident, everywhere.  

It is now time to take ownership and do things that are positive for the environment, its inhabitants and our future generations!

​ This will directly affect what you eat and what is left behind in your body.  

This goes for the Earth as well.  Before Man started affecting the environment, nature and its inhabitants were in balance.  Man's footprint has been ever increasing.  In turn increasing an effect on the natural order of the environment.  It is Man's Responsibility to be good stewards of the environment that has allowed us to flourish.  Through Marine Awareness education, Cleanup Awareness and Invasive Species Management, C.O.R.E. helps to improve the environment   Our environment's health is a direct relationship with the way we treat it.   If we don't do more to protect or replenish our environment, we are in turn affected by lower output and lesser quality of materials and resources.  

If we try to do more for our environment, we will benefit exponentially.  It will provide us with more as well as creating a healthy environment for  future generations.

   Marine Awareness Education

Marine Awareness Education is the cornerstone of proper stewardship.  It provides interesting, interactive material along with hands on programming.  The C.O.R.E.
