Humans depend on the ocean, whether we live near or far from it. But to what extent are citizens aware of the state of the ocean and its environmental, economic, political, medical and cultural importance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The essence of ocean literacy<\/a> is to know and understand the ocean’s influence on us, and our influence on the ocean, as a fundamental concept for living and acting sustainably. Marine literacy helps to raise public awareness and gives us the tools to make responsible decisions about our environmental impacts, public policies and maritime activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ocean literacy connects all sectors of society. It demonstrates the value of ocean science for sustainable economy and policy, helping to create a common basis of understanding, and a common set of shared values. This is essential for stakeholders jointly addressing complex issues that characterise the marine environment and support decisions on sustainable environmental management and a sustainable blue economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 2000s, the ocean literacy framework was developed and has since been adopted by various scientific sectors of oceanography and marine research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development 2021-2030, implemented by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, proposed marine literacy as a means to engage with stakeholders and determine common understanding and joint identification of solutions towards sustainability. In addition to strengthening dialogue and engagement between science and policy, marine literacy also helps to reach out to sectors and disciplines outside the traditional ones of marine science or marine economics and management, from arts and culture to sport and leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \"alfabetizacion\n <\/picture>\n \n\n\n\n
