Structured research and implementation across eight key work packages
Coordination and management of all project activities, ensuring effective communication between partners and timely delivery of milestones and deliverables.
Development of the core Ocean Literacy framework, based on the Seven Essential Principles of Ocean Science and aligned with UNESCO guidelines.
Creation of innovative educational resources and curricula for formal and informal education sectors, targeting multiple age groups and learning contexts.
Mobilisation of communities and stakeholders through participatory activities, campaigns, and direct engagement initiatives promoting ocean literacy and sustainable action.
Engagement with policy makers and marine governance actors to inform decision-making and advance ocean-literate approaches to marine management and policy.
Evaluation of project activities, assessment of behavioural change outcomes, and social research to measure the effectiveness of ocean literacy interventions.
Communication and dissemination of project results through diverse channels, ensuring broad reach and sustainability of sea change outcomes beyond the project period.
Integration of blue economy concepts and innovation opportunities, connecting ocean literacy with sustainable economic development and new job creation.
These eight work packages function as an integrated system, working in parallel while maintaining close coordination. Education and community engagement (WP3-4) are informed by the ocean literacy framework (WP2), while policy engagement (WP5) and research evaluation (WP6) ensure evidence-based approaches. Project management (WP1) provides coordination, dissemination (WP7) spreads results, and blue growth innovation (WP8) explores sustainable economic opportunities.
