Abstract

The ocean, the world's largest ecosystem, has a strong influence on climate regulation and human activities. However, it is threatened by human actions that have been causing a series of processes triggered by climate change. Across the Ocean Decade (2021-2030), seeks strategies to gather efforts of various social actors to practice actions that can reverse unprecedented ocean degradation. For such actions to be practiced by all, it is necessary to invest in oceanic literacy, through a communication that dialogues with people. In this context, this project intends to produce reviews, through the curator of existing actions and in co-authorship with science writers partners and basic education teachers, which contribute to the communication objectives of the Collaborative Network: Ressoa Oceano, for the appreciation of oceanic and scientific culture that we need so much to reach the ocean we want.
