B.R.O.C. is a small club that came from a little girl’s dream, to become a marine biologist. During outings, kids meet with scientists and get exposed to scientific techniques, knowledge and are brought awareness about the ecosystem. Contents are made available online as we hope, through this experience, to inspire kids, minorities and girls to grow up to respect, protect the ocean and to expose them to an array of careers in marine sciences.
