Children signing-up to be an AWARE Kid receive a decal, membership card and activity book that provides them with the opportunity to complete AWARE Kids missions - activities that get them involved in finding solutions to conservation issues such as threatened underwater species (e.g. sharks), marine debris and water conservation. Completed missions are entered in monthly prize drawings. The AWARE Kids activity book contains educational information about coral reefs, sharks, kelp forests, sea turtles, whales and dolphins, as well as fun facts, interactive games and puzzles (all with a conservation theme).
