Ocean Literacy 2005, NOAA publishes Ocean Literacy Standards to
address the importance of Ocean Education. Ocean literacy is an understanding of the oceans
influence on you and your influence on the ocean. An ocean-literate person understands:
- the essential principles and fundamental concepts,- can communicate about the oceans in a meaningful way,- is able to make informed and responsible decisions regarding the oceans and its resources.
In this course we intend to make you Ocean Literate and More!!!
