Understanding how the ocean influences us and how we influence the ocean is crucial for making sustainable choices. Ocean literacy plays a vital role in fostering responsibility toward marine resources and promoting sustainable economic practices.
A recent article, co-authored by the EU4Ocean Coalition, Dr. Mounir Ghribi, and Dr. Diana Rico, explores the link between ocean literacy and the blue economy. It highlights the efforts of the Centre of Excellence and the work done to bridge knowledge gaps, support sustainable marine industries, and ensure a skilled workforce for the future.
The EU4Ocean Coalition, launched in 2020, has united over 1,000 members across Europe to promote ocean literacy through research, education, and private-sector engagement. The article also sheds light on ongoing EU initiatives, including funding programs aimed at developing blue skills and fostering collaboration between business and education.
