Understanding the Ocean‵s influence on you and your influence on the Ocean. Impacts of the Ocean Literacy Principles. Ocean Literacy: The Essential Principles of Ocean Sciences K-12 has been a groundbreaking document, both as a product and because of its development process, both of which are creating a ripple effect across the entire ocean sciences education community and beyond.
The Ocean Literacy Framework, comprised of the Ocean Literacy Principles and the Ocean Literacy Scope and Sequence, is the first consensus set of documents to identify, articulate, and organize the core concepts of ocean sciences for educational purposes. It has become a powerful rallying point for elevating the prominence of ocean sciences in the mainstream K-12 and informal science education systems. While it is not new for educators and scientists to work together on a project, the process of continued collaboration and partnership between educators and scientists in different agencies and organizations is significant, and has added to the potency of the Ocean Literacy Campaign.
