The ocean is the defining feature of our planet. It allows for all life to exist on Earth. We all depend on a healthy ocean.

Ocean Literacy is the understanding of the ocean’s influence on you and your influence on the ocean.

Through the Ocean Literacy Network, scientists, educators and policy makers are working together to improve Ocean Literacy worldwide. 

Through this website you can explore:

  • The Ocean Literacy Network to find out who’s involved, what has been accomplished and why you can’t be science literate without being ocean literate.
  • The Ocean Literacy Framework to find out the seven ideas everyone should know about the ocean—and how to teach or learn about them;
  • Ocean Science Research to keep abreast of the latest discoveries; 
  • Getting Involved to find groups to join, conferences to attend, actions you can take, and ways to share what you’re doing;
  • Ocean Literacy News (via the links in the right sidebar or the link in the footer) to hear about ocean literacy activities.
