Oceans cover more than 70% of the planet's surface and support all life on earth by providing us with oxygen, rain, food, medicines, temperature regulation, inspiration, and so much more. Unfortunately, we know that our oceans are in trouble—from climate change to plastic pollution and overfishing. Join us as we explore the critical role that education can play in advancing environmental literacy and motivating individuals and communities to get engaged in protecting marine environments. Join educators working in the Philippines, Taiwan, and the U.S. as they share ideas for creating an ocean-literate world.
