Two National Geographic photographers Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier have founded #OceanSchool.

These two inspiring humans post daily on their Instagram accounts with riveting photographs and stories of our oceans and the animals that inhabit them. They are a beautiful example of using online resources to ensure that although schools may be stopped, education does not need to stop.

Their daily posts inform children and adults alike about the wonders of our natural world and are always greeted with thousands of comments from those who follow their work.

Their recent lessons have included critical articles explaining the state of our planet, including stories of polar bears, friendly baby elephant seals, walruses, and manatees. If you wish to educate yourself about the ocean, visit their Instagrams (@paulnicklen, @mitty), or check out their website www.sealegacy.org.
