Ocean Identity research aims to delve into the intricate connections between humanity and the vast expanse of the ocean. As such, this project endeavors to foster a transformative bond between people and the ocean, integrating social and natural sciences to tackle the challenges facing ocean ecosystems.
The ultimate goal is to develop an Assessment Toolkit for Ocean Identity, empowering environmental organizations to better understand and impact ocean identity across diverse groups. In doing so, we aim to enhance ocean literacy, foster sustainable relationships with the ocean, and contribute to equitable ocean governance and management in alignment with the objectives of the UN Ocean Decade.
