Youth 4 Oceans is a developing coalition of youth who believe they can make a difference and have a vision of a new generation of caring around the world. This vision will come from the understanding that all life is one and only when we care for all living beings, all nature, can all which live on this earth begin to experience peace and health. Youth 4 Oceans is the voice, hands, feet, heart and spirit of the community's youth who will continue to care. They will be left to deal with the atrocity caused by the present world view that would elevate man above the very life that sustains it, the beauty, the peace of symbiotic policy that will ensure life continues. As this coalition grows, this site will fill with articles, interviews, photos taken by young adults caring, and making an impact in their own environment, community and beyond. Youth who are doing something about ensuring their future world is a place they will be able to enjoy Nature's Glory, the very life needed for sustainability.

Solo, Around the world sailor, Capt Donna Lange (www.donnalange.com), would like to share her experiences sailing the world and passion for ocean conservation through slideshow, video, story telling and songs, playing instruments from around the world with your organization, group or club. 300days alone at sea, stopping only 2 times in the southern hemisphere, Captain Donna Lange has forged incredible challenges, met them, and beyond that, found a healing peace through a dynamic extended time alone with the ocean. She shares her stories, her understanding of the necessity of a symbiotic life between man and the sea, in music, song, and through her stories of 168 days at sea sailing halfway around the world without leaving the sea, later rounding Cape Horn and forging the storms of the North Atlantic in early spring. Captain Donna Lange is on the Board of Directors of OceansWatch NZ, soon to create OceansWatch USA, an organization that joins the hands of the yachting and boating community to sustainability and ecological works in the islands of the world. She is developing "For the Love of Oceans" and it's youth counterpart "Youth4Oceans", grassroots advocacy programs because she feels we have a responsibility that goes with the privilege of having freedom, prosperity, education, and the ability to live life to our potential. The ocean is the energy force of all life along with all nature and ensuring her health and biodiversity will forever ensure the prosperity of mankind. Please contact Donna for a night of music, songs, and stories to captivate the hearts of our future generation with an awakening of life energy to pursue life's potential, believing that individuals can make a difference.  Fees for sharing her program are minimal, and especially if she can offer the purchase of her music CD's as a way to augment her fee.
