The Ocean Literacy Portal serves as a one-stop shop, providing resources and content available to all, with the goal of creating an ocean-literate society able to make informed and responsible decisions on ocean resources and ocean sustainability.

Here you will find the necessary Ocean Literacy resources to develop knowledge, skills, values and behaviours needed to create an ocean literate community. A collection of education and information resources, projects, tools, methods, reports, programs and materials regarding global ocean knowledge, useful to understand ocean processes, functions and issues.

The Ocean Literacy Portal is a universal sharing platform. By sharing the world’s ocean knowledge, we are committed to building a global ocean movement to protect the planet on which we live.” (About)
