Ocean Literacy

Raising awareness in communities about the vital role oceans play in our lives.

About the program

Why it matters.

Our oceans regulate the climate, feed millions and sustain coastal livelihoods. Ocean Literacy helps communities and young people understand how the ocean affects us, and how we affect the ocean.

Through awareness sessions and community engagement, we encourage action to protect our coastlines and marine life.
