Officer Snook Water Pollution Program

The Officer Snook Water Pollution Program is available on-board all Norwegian ships. The Officer Snook program, which launched on Norwegian Jewel in December 2005, seeks to educate young people about the importance of clean water, and the affects of marine pollution and ways to prevent it.

The Officer Snook Water Pollution Program is a long term water pollution prevention initiative, emphasizing youth education and involvement. The mascot for the program – “Officer Snook” – is a cartoon fish symbolizing the program’s protection of the water environment worldwide.

Elements of the program are incorporated into the Norwegian Kid’s Crew and include activities for kids of all ages. For kids ages 2 – 5, there is an Undersea Hospital, story-telling, coloring books and games. For pre-teens there are crafts, a simulated “Beach Clean Up” activity, a “Catch or Release” game identifying endangered species, and an environmental poster contest.

The program’s teen component allows high school students to earn between one and five community service hours depending on their level of involvement in the program. These hours may be used at the teen’s school as part of their community service allotment.

The Officer Snook Water Pollution Program was started in 1993 by Jennifer Sevin, then a high school senior, to educate local elementary school students about water pollution.

The Officer Snook Water Pollution program has grown nationally since its inception in 1994. To date, more than five million students in grades pre-K through 12 have participated in an Officer Snook presentation or related activity. # # #
