This guide presents a vision of an ocean-literate society. A practical resource for educators, it outlines the knowledge required to be considered ocean literate in accordance with the National Science Education Standards (NSES). In developing the NSES, NAS invited science educators to add their unique perspectives on how to improve science education and science iteracy. In a similar vein, we sought the perspectives and expertise of a cross-section of the ocean sciences and education communities.
