During their project, they spoke to the Kiribati Parliament, members of the Cabinet, and the Vice President of Kiribati. Additionally, they conducted awareness workshops with the Ministry of Fisheries, Ministry of Environment, Land, and Development, and worked with local community members to promote and support local community-based marine protected areas, reaching village elders and community leaders. While in-country, they also took time to communicate results of their research and activities directly to over 1,500 school children across 5 villages on the Tarawa Atoll. BU, MIT, and National Geographic partnered with the Government of Kiribati on this project as part of Kiribati&#8217;s commitment to the United Nations SDG14 goals, including ocean technology
