Abstract
This poster describes the activities to date of the Ocean Literacy Working Group. It covers the topic in general (overview and description of objectives), progress, proposed next steps, and invitations to join the Group. The Group has been working on this topic since 2018 and most recently conducted a Professional Development Day with local high school teachers on the topic of the ocean and climate change. In this professional development session, talks were given by local specialists and an ocean literacy “tool kit” with teaching materials was prepared and distributed. Further such initiatives are being planned. We hope that our talk and poster will generate interest on the ocean literacy topic among the conference participants. We look forward to their suggestions and support for future group activities.
