Ocean literacy is about understanding the importance of the ocean for people and how our actions affect it, no matter how far from the coast we live. The concept of ocean literacy is at the core of the UN Decade of Ocean Science 2021-2030, which aims to reverse the negative trends in the marine environment and support sustainable development.
Every year we're seeing more and more turtle stranding partially because of an increase in awareness but also because there are more extreme weather events, there are more storms there are more extreme temperature changes and strong winds probably a consequence of changing weather systems, more extreme weather systems that are indicative of climate change and all of those things for us lead to increase strandings.
The concept of Ocean Literacy is gaining ground. UNESCO calls for common knowledge base on the sea
