Becoming Ocean Literate
To be ocean literate is to understand the ocean’s impact on our lives and, equally, our impact on the ocean. This essential understanding is at the heart of the OC Learn Ocean Program.
The ocean is the foundation of life on Earth. It provides the water we drink, the air we breathe, and much of the food we eat. It also serves as the largest pathway for mobility and transportation worldwide. Beneath its vast, unexplored waters lie potential resources that could hold solutions for pressing health challenges and climate change.
Our Ocean Skills Program and diverse learning modules bring attention to the urgent need for a healthy, thriving ocean—essential to sustaining a habitable planet. Through this program, we empower learners with the tools and knowledge to protect and restore our ocean for future generations.
Innovation and Business Skills
Innovation and business skills are essential not only for understanding how to protect our ocean but also for sustainably leveraging its resources. The ocean innovation landscape is rapidly advancing, offering transformative technologies and solutions to meet future demands across various sectors—from sustainable mobility and food production to eco-friendly packaging, building materials, medicine, and health care.
The Entrepreneurial Skills Learning Modules of the OC Learn focus on this evolving landscape, equipping participants with the knowledge and practical tools to take an early-stage idea and transform it into a viable, impactful solution. Our modules cover the journey from concept design and technology commercialization to becoming market-ready, empowering innovators to lead the future of ocean sustainability.
