Ocean literacy
Ocean literacy means understanding the ocean’s influence on you and your influence on the ocean.
It is a tool to enhance ocean knowledge, build connections in our lives, and support people to act in a positive and aware way for our ocean. Ocean literacy can be developed in schools, but also through non-formal education.
The goals of ocean literacy are not only knowledge exchange, but also behavior change and emotional connection to the ocean as a whole. Ocean literacy initiatives provide a way to promote sustainable practices, develop policy, foster responsible citizenship and encourage everyone to be involved in the future.
