This spring, Buena High School students created a video on the removal of Matilija Dam. These students are participants in the ECCOA Program of the MERITO Foundation.
EECCOA empowers students to address climate change and ocean acidification by providing them the tools to research, design and innovate Energy Efficiency or other sustainability models their schools can adopt, or develop Ocean Acidification (OA) awareness campaigns that inform their communities.
To bring awareness of the Matilija Dam and its removal, Breanna and Ixzel interviewed Paul Jenkin from the Surfrider Foundation at the Matilija Dam to get insight into why the dam should be removed and its history. Their video production won first place in the annual ECCOA Award program.
