  7. Campus Center Booth Accomplished: • Talked with Net Impact about a March 28th date Prospective: • Promote the Ocean Explorium and events that we will be involved with; Beach cleanup, Raffle. • Booth will accept donations for Ocean Explorium

  8. Beach Clean-Up Accomplished: • Scouted out Beaches, Beach next to Fort Taber Academy is a likely possibility. • Abbey gave us the seal of approval on a beach cleanup in the name of the Ocean Explorium, potentially wearing shirts that will advertise their logo. Prospective: • As of now, the clean up is scheduled for the 14th of April. Specifics of the event have not yet been finalized. • Net Impact has been informed of the event and are optimistic about the turnout. • During the next Net Impact meeting, the event will be brought up again to tally final participation.

  10. Problems • Our initial choice for a community partner, Forever Paws, didn’t fit our teams mission. • After we realized that our initial choice was not going to work in our favor, we migrated to working with The Ocean Explorium. This in turn, caused a delay in progress. • Scheduling team meetings can be somewhat difficult, due to coordinating various people’s schedules.

  11. Unexpected Opportunities • Abbey mentioned, potentially, working with Children from Roosevelt Elementary School. • Learning more about the New Bedford community and it’s valuable resources; the beach, the OE and Fort Taber.

  12. Conclusion • Team Global Sharks is looking forward to all our planned events, and actively following our calendar to ensure everything is completed on time. • We are excited to educated ourselves as well as the New Bedford community on the importance of ocean conservation.
