The Ocean Decade Exhibition featuring surreal digital art created by global artists will be on view from July 29 through Oct. 31 at the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center, 300 Tower Road, Naples. The center is open 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Tuesdays through Saturdays with admission of $10 for adults and $5 for children ages four to 12, with discounted admissions through the Blue Star Museum and Museums for All programs.
The artwork reinforces the United Nation’s Ocean Decade initiative, which runs 2021-2030, and emphasizes the Seven Principles of Ocean Literacy, with the goal of encouraging deeper understanding and conservation of oceanic ecosystems. The principles include messages such as “over 80% of the ocean remains unexplored” and “the ocean is home to the vast majority of animals.”
Friends of Rookery Bay will host an opening reception with wine and light bites from 5:30 to 7:00 PM on Wednesday, Aug. 14 at the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center. Admission is free but preregistration is required at rookerybay.org/events.
The Ocean Decade Exhibition launched in Portugal during 2022 and has been featured worldwide at venues ranging from schools to aquariums. The artworks are freely available at theoceanagency.org/exhibition, so anyone can curate and create their own exhibitions.
The Seven Principles of Ocean Literacy
1. The ocean makes our planet habitable.
2. The ocean regulates the climate and the weather.
3. Humans are entirely dependent on a healthy ocean.
4. The ocean is home to the vast majority of animals.
5. Over 80% of the ocean remains unexplored.
6. Our world is shaped by the ocean and ocean life.
7. There is only one ocean.
