NOAA“海洋守护者学校”项目汇总显示：过去一学年全美逾万名学生通过校园与社区保护行动，清理垃圾、做堆肥并修复近岸生态。阅读时可留意 ocean、marine、conservation、protect、community、project、native、policy、decade、generation 等词，并区分已统计的学生合力成果与尚未解决的海岸问题。

Over the past school year, 12,447 students across the United States led campus and community projects to protect local waters and the ocean. On November 5, 2026, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries reported the results through its Ocean Guardian School program. The agency says the student work shows how classroom learning can turn into real care for places near national marine sanctuaries.

过去一学年，美国各地有 12,447 名学生主导校园与社区项目，保护本地水域与海洋。2026 年 11 月 5 日，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）国家海洋保护区办公室通过其“海洋守护者学校”项目公布了这些成果。该机构表示，学生的工作说明课堂学习可以转化为对国家海洋保护区附近场所的实际照护。

A NOAA Ocean Guardian School commits to protecting nearby watersheds, the ocean, and special marine areas by running a conservation project at school or in the community. Since 2009 the program has grown to 96 schools in 18 states and three U.S. territories. Each school chooses one pathway: watershed restoration, marine debris, schoolyard garden or habitat, energy and ocean health, or the “6Rs” of refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, rot, and recycle.

一所 NOAA 海洋守护者学校承诺：通过开展校园或社区保护项目，守护附近流域、海洋以及特殊海洋区域。自 2009 年启动以来，该项目已扩展到 18 个州与 3 个美国属地的 96 所学校。每所学校选择一条路径：流域恢复、海洋垃圾、校园园地或栖息地、能源与海洋健康，或“6R”——拒绝、再思考、减少、再利用、堆肥（腐熟）与回收。

Those pathways look different from place to place. In Keaukaha, Hawaii, fifth graders at Ka Umeke Kaeo Public Charter School worked with University of Hawaii at Hilo researchers to grow and outplant resilient corals in Puhi Bay. Their aim was to rebuild reef areas with low coral cover that connect to Papahanaumokuakea National Marine Sanctuary. In Pacific Grove, California, Monterey Bay Charter School students partnered with Save Our Shores to adopt Del Monte Beach beside Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. They held regular cleanups, installed signs designed by students, and wrote a Zero Waste Procurement Policy after a local congressman recognized their decade of ocean work.

这些路径因地而异。在夏威夷 Keaukaha，Ka Umeke Kaeo 公立特许学校的五年级学生与夏威夷大学希洛分校研究人员合作，培育并移植更具韧性的珊瑚到 Puhi Bay。他们的目标是重建珊瑚覆盖偏低、并与帕帕哈瑙莫库阿克亚国家海洋保护区相连的礁区。在加利福尼亚州 Pacific Grove，蒙特雷湾特许学校的学生与 Save Our Shores 合作，认领毗邻蒙特雷湾国家海洋保护区的 Del Monte Beach。他们定期清理海滩，竖立学生设计的标识，并在当地国会议员表彰其十年海洋工作后，制定了零废弃采购政策。

Other campuses focused on everyday waste and power use. At the Montessori Children’s School of Key West in Florida, students ran tumbling and worm compost bins, tried pumpkin compost experiments, and helped seven families start take-home bins. In Los Osos, California, Morro Bay Montessori Family Partnership Charter School held clothing swaps and repairs to cut textile waste. In Ketchikan, Alaska, Tongass School of the Arts and Sciences installed beach cleanup stations with reusable buckets and tongs at Rotary Beach, near Ketchikan Creek.

另一些校园则聚焦日常废弃物与用电。在佛罗里达州基韦斯特的蒙特梭利儿童学校，学生运行翻滚式与蚯蚓堆肥箱，做南瓜堆肥实验，并帮助 7 个家庭建立可带回家的堆肥箱。在加利福尼亚州 Los Osos，Morro Bay 蒙特梭利家庭合作特许学校举办衣物交换与修补活动，以减少纺织废料。在阿拉斯加州凯奇坎，Tongass 艺术与科学学校在靠近凯奇坎溪的 Rotary Beach 安装海滩清理站，配备可重复使用的桶与夹具。

Taken together, the schools report clear, countable results for the year: 64,565 pounds of food waste diverted from landfills, 12,898 pounds of trash removed, 2,012 gallons of water reclaimed through rainwater catchment, 84 compost bins installed, 11,535 native plants added, and 190,123 square feet of invasive plants cleared. NOAA presents these figures as one school year’s combined student impact, not as proof that every coastal problem is solved. The agency invites more schools to apply, arguing that early stewardship may help protect marine resources for the next generation.

综合来看，各校报告了可清点的年度成果：从填埋场分流 64,565 磅厨余，清除 12,898 磅垃圾，通过雨水收集回收 2,012 加仑水，安装 84 个堆肥箱，种植 11,535 株本地植物，并清除 190,123 平方英尺入侵植物。NOAA 将这些数字呈现为一学年学生合力的影响，而不是证明每个海岸问题都已解决。该机构邀请更多学校申请，认为早期守护行动或许有助于为下一代保护海洋资源。
