Peninsular India is surrounded by water on three sides. We are aware of the important role it plays in the environment. But with relentless degradation, ocean conservation has become a matter of concern around which more awareness needs to be built. Bringing the vastness of the ocean to Mumbai’s young minds, Jane Goodall Institute India (JGII), St+Art India Foundation, Peek A Book Festival and Avid Learning are organising Going Under! An Ocean Awareness Workshop. Along with a photo-ride of the ocean with underwater photographer Digant Desai, the workshop includes a DIY session that will use ocean debris to create articles with Zainab Tambawalla — an urban sketcher, educator and illustrator.
