Mediterranean Sea Literacy: When Ocean Literacy becomes region-specific
Based on the
US Ocean Literacy framework, marine scientists and educators developed the “
Mediterranean Sea Literacy” (MSL) guide adapted to the specificities of the Mediterranean region. The MSL principles (7) and concepts (43), serving as guidance for research, education, informed decision-making, and improved citizens’ lifestyles, aim to contribute to environmental protection, conservation, and restoration of the Mediterranean Sea as well as to help to achieve a blue innovative and sustainable economy.
