i am very interested in how best to promote ocean literacy, to the extent that marina teams can understand and better engage with their natural marine surroundings, and by so doing, build collaborative networks, share their knowledge and encourage a collective culture of conservation and ocean stewardship amongst visitors, boaters and their local community.
