Mission Bay High School Mission Bay High School AP Environmental Studies students, an International Baccalaureate Biology student, and members of the Eco Club presented their projects at the 2017 Ocean Plastic Pollution Summit at Monterey Bay Aquarium on April 29. Six students presented their student-led action projects that reduce single-use plastic consumption at MBHS and in the Pacific Beach community. “The OPP Summit allows my students to share their passion about the ocean,” said teacher Steve Walters. “They have a chance to share their projects with other like-minded young people, all of them becoming ambassadors for a healthy ocean. I wish I could take more than six, but we will be back next year.” Student presentations included a video, a virtual reality game as played with VR goggles, oral presentations, and a large pirate ship made of discarded plastic bottles.
