Educational Resources

The United States Marine Protected Areas Center has created a new publication on marine protected area resources and concepts for teaching Ocean Literacy. The document melds the “Ocean Literacy: Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts” developed by the National Geographic Society, NOAA and partners for K-12 curricula with resources from MPA Center that illustrate those principles.

MPA Ocean Literacy Tools 2012

The information is intended to help educators improve ocean literacy by highlighting resources on marine protected areas and conservation.
