In October and November, Chinese school children between 6 and 15 years were invited to test their knowledge on marine biodiversity and marine environmental protection in the ocean knowledge contest, organised under ‘Rethinking Plastics’.

The question pool consisted of 500 questions, fitting to the different age groups. They covered the marine life and marine litter knowledge, including garbage classification as well as prevention and sustainable plastic consume. More than 25,000 students and teachers from 40 schools in 18 Chinese provinces, regions and municipalities took on the quest which aimed to educate about the challenges faced with marine litter and actions to avoid it. Their results not only showed high enthusiasm, but also a rich marine knowledge and awareness of marine environmental protection.
