Most people think Oggy should’ve been born a fish. He’s fascinated by the ocean and everything in it, and spends almost more time in the water than out. He takes care of Mr. Rife’s fishes and has named them all. Almost every day after school (when he’s not exploring with his best friend, Boston), Oggy goes snorkeling or scuba diving in the ocean. If he can’t go to the beach, Oggy loves playing with his boomerang. He likes to learn new things (like how to play football with Boston) and also teach new things—like teaching Cat to throw a boomerang. But he has a crush on Cat, so whenever she’s around he usually gets nervous and can hardly throw at all. When he grows up, Oggy’s going to sail around the world and explore the oceans that cover most of the earth.

His World Abundance Project is to protect the oceans. With so much oil drilling and illegal poaching, he knows we may lose some of the most beautiful things living in the waters. So he’s always working for ways to protect the ocean life from pollutants and illegal hunting.

Oggy lives with his younger brother and mom. She’s a marine biologist at Abundant Island’s underwater aquarium.

Oggy is especially good at making friends and including people in activities. Whether it’s hide ‘n’ seek or Mr. Rife’s fieldtrips, Oggy is always making sure the other Quantum Kids feel included. No one is ever without a friend when Oggy’s around. Oggy believes if we can make one new friend a day, we can change the world.qk-webpage-qk-logo-flat-72-alt.jpg
