ABOUT Iki and the Ocean Protectors
When pollution threatens the sea, it’s time for Iki and his friends to step up and protect their ocean home!
Iki the curious little dog, his friend Ulu, and regenerative farmer Eddy embark on an underwater adventure. As they explore the magical world of sea creatures, from playful pufferfish to gentle whales, they discover a big problem: pollution is harming their ocean friends!
With the help of Milo Tree, Naupaka Shrub, and Vetiver Grass—strong and heroic plants called "SeaTrees"—Iki and his friends learn how to protect the ocean. From planting SeaTrees to making eco-friendly choices on land, they show us that even small actions can make a big difference.
Through this beautifully illustrated story, children will discover the magic of the ocean and how they can help keep it safe and healthy for all its inhabitants. Join Iki and his mighty friends as they become Ocean Protectors!
Dive into a magical underwater world where tiny actions make a big difference.
