To make creative connections and demonstrate their understanding of the principles, students can create posters, infographics, or comic strips to illustrate each of the Ocean Literacy Principles.
This guide can serve as a framework for teaching about the ocean throughout students' schooling. Teachers can select principles and subitems that best fit with their curriculum.
