Education Around Earth – Ocean Literacy for a Blue Planet

Ocean and aquatic sciences remain among the most underrepresented disciplines in K–12 educational curricula. Rarely taught at any level, concepts about the ocean, the coasts or the Great Lakes infrequently appear in K–12 curriculum materials, textbooks, assessments or standards. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is working to help educators bring ocean sciences into the classroom.
