OCEAN LITERACY

What types of projects do we work on?

We believe it is crucial to highlight the importance of the ocean in the lives of residents of coastal cities, including its impact on health, culture, and heritage. By promoting ocean literacy, we aim to enhance people’s understanding of the ocean dimension. We recognize the need for cities to view the ocean as an integral part of their identity, rather than just a simple boundary. Therefore, we are exploring innovative ways to integrate land and ocean, such as naturalizing coastal areas and implementing blue health-focused urban planning, to improve public understanding of the ocean. We pursue these objectives through various avenues:
• Art and Science: Connecting marine science with art. • Reinforcing local traditions: Encouraging collaboration with local fishing communities. • Blue Education: Promoting several programs in schools. • Citizen engagement campaigns and citizen science activities.
