Oceana is now taking nominations for its second annual Ocean Heroes contest!

If you know someone -- including yourself -- who has made a significant, ongoing contribution to ocean conservation, they want to hear about it.

This year, there are two categories: adult and junior. They will announce finalists in late April, and then open it up for voting. The winners will receive a gift from contest sponsor Nautica plus a trip to Oceana's blue carpet World Oceans Day event in Los Angeles.

Also, to get you inspired, check Oceana's blog in the coming weeks to learn about what the 2009 Ocean Hero Finalists are up to now.
