‘This report marks an important shared moment for the concept of Ocean Literacy. The focus of the

global community of Ocean Literacy researchers and practitioners is shifting – from making space for

the ocean in formal education, towards developing critically informed, context-specific initiatives for

ocean-literate societies.

In section 2, this report reviews methods and approaches in the current Ocean Literacy landscape,

as well as research priorities. A set of successful case studies is presented in section 3, which

inspires an aspirational checklist for Ocean Literacy initiatives in section 4. Five proposals for critical

Ocean Literacy are offered in section 5, to envision a way forward for researchers, practitioners and

stakeholders involved in the common goal to advance Ocean Literacy across the globe.’
