Here at Ocean Conservancy, we believe that art plays an important role in connecting us with our environment—particularly our ocean. That’s why our very own Lesley Ferguson has created some stellar coloring sheets for you to enjoy.

Now, you may be asking yourself, “Who has time to color?” or “Isn’t coloring just for kids?” FEAR NOT. Coloring is for all ages (Seriously. You’d be surprised how much of conservation work is conference calls—I have several coloring books at my desk that have helped get me through some long hours on the phone)! And if you need an excuse to take a break from your busy schedule, here are three reasons why you should color today:

1. Education

Coloring sheets are great resources for teachers and parents! For young minds, art is a way to help connect to our ocean and grow a deeper appreciation of marine life. And coloring is an activity that kids can do almost anywhere and without any special supplies.

2. Relaxation

For many, coloring provides a sense of relaxation and can be therapeutic. Forget about emails, deadlines and drama. You deserve a break.

3. Inspiration

Whether you want to decorate your room or office space, admiring your coloring sheet can put you into a whole other mindset of awesomeness—deep beneath the waves.
