Only One Ocean

The Banana Slug String Band logoThe renowned children’s music group, The Banana Slug String Band, is producing a new album, Only One Ocean, entirely focused on the content found in Ocean Literacy: The Essential Principles of Ocean Sciences K-12.

The CD is being produced with financial contributions from ten Centers in the National COSEE Network and from the National Marine Educators Association, the NOAA Office of Exploration & Research, The College of Exploration and Dr. Sue Cook.

The CD, available to the public in early 2010, will feature several well-known guest artists who have contributed their time to project such as:

  • Jack Johnson
  • Victor Wooten
  • George Winston
  • and many, many more

Banana Slug albums have won 16 state and national awards for excellence. Thousands of Banana Slug CDs are sold each year through eight distributors such as Amazon.com, Acorn Naturalists and Kaplan Early Learning, and as downloads through iTunes and other MP3 sites.

In addition, the band plays over 20 major concerts and dozens of smaller shows each year. Only One Ocean will bring the importance of the ocean to a large audience of parents and children not previously reached by the Ocean Literacy Campaign.
