From 2019-2021, CELC members partnered with NOAA to create "NOAA and the Octonauts," an episode-by-episode podcast discussion of the children’s TV show the Octonauts, which features a crew of quirky and courageous undersea adventurers. Their mission: to explore the world’s ocean, rescue the creatures who live there, and protect their habitats. This monthly podcast brought together experts from inside and outside of NOAA to help you and the children you care about learn more about the real-life versions of the Octonauts sea creatures and the ocean they call home.
