Ocean Literacy Initiative
Background
In 2023, Estuarine and Coastal Studies Foundation (ECSF) initiated its Ocean Literacy (OL) program to advance and promote marine and environmental science courses in India. This program is inspired by the ‘Ocean Literacy for All’ program of IOC-UNESCO and Early Career Ocean Professionals- Ocean Literacy Task Team (UN Ocean Decade endorsed programme). Ocean Literacy (OL) is defined as “An understanding of the ocean’s influence on you and your influence on the ocean (UNESCO)”.Our primary objective is to educate young minds about Ocean, Climate and Community.
Over two years, discover how our efforts are making a difference!
