FOR A LIVING OCEAN
FOR A LIVING OCEAN
EDUCATION
The ocean fulfils a variety of functions that are indispensable for the existence and survival of all species, including humans. It is an essential source of water, oxygen, important climate regulator, and an enormous source of food and biodiversity. Despite its importance, especially for the survival of many communities, there is a lack of awareness about the marine species that inhabit our coasts and the problems they face. Through our experiential educational activities, that encourage contact with nature and integrate science, culture, art and recreation, we work towards inspiring, delighting, and teaching people to look after, respect and protect our ocean and its biodiversity.
RESOURCES
Due to the need for marine educational material in Chile that is simple and practical, one of our first initiatives is to develop these resources and necessary tools to motivate people to learn more about the diversity of life that inhabits our ocean and complement learning. Because we often can't reach everyone through our printed educational resources, digital downloads are available through our website, allowing for a greater access of users and regions. We hope our educational material will contribute towards marine education, conservation and sustainable use of marine resources.
COLLABORATION
Educating about the ocean and the challenges we must address are such big tasks that we cannot face them in isolation.
Collaboration with other organizations, institutions, people and communities is essential to solve educational and environmental challenges.
Through collaborative relationships and community outreach, we encourage an enriching dialogue between the formal processes of education and the wisdom and experience of local communities and their environment.
