The story

Project CLEO (Coastal Life Education & Outreach) follows Cleo, a 6-year-old ballet girl with big ocean dreams, and Ellie, a young leopard shark.

My daughter and I went looking for a show about the leopard sharks we love seeing at La Jolla Shores and found almost nothing: one video. When it ended, she asked what we could do to save the leopard sharks. The show started there.
