RationaleRationale

The ocean affects all peopleThe ocean affects all people The vast majority of the people do not The vast majority of the people do not

know enough about the ocean to make know enough about the ocean to make good decisionsgood decisions

Students do not get exposed to ocean Students do not get exposed to ocean science in school so fewer good ocean science in school so fewer good ocean scientists are trained than neededscientists are trained than needed

The best practices in ocean education The best practices in ocean education are not shared widelyare not shared widely

OpportunitiesOpportunities

A A collaborative networkcollaborative network allows allows best practices to be sharedbest practices to be shared

A focus on A focus on excellenceexcellence makes makes educational practices more effectiveeducational practices more effective

By By engaging scientistsengaging scientists in in education and outreach, the most education and outreach, the most interesting, innovative, and interesting, innovative, and technically advanced science technically advanced science reaches the publicreaches the public
