Ocean Literacy

Ocean literacy is the understanding of how the ocean influences our lives and the planet’s health. It includes recognizing the ocean’s role in climate regulation, supporting biodiversity, providing resources, and sustaining economies. Being ocean-literate means knowing about the ocean’s ecosystems, how human activities impact it, and why protecting it is essential for a sustainable future. This knowledge helps individuals make informed decisions, advocate for ocean conservation, and appreciate the importance of healthy oceans for everyone’s well-being.
