Supporting a Florida Ocean Learning Network
The goal of the third initiative is to establish a state-wide network of scientists and educators to support the development of quality education products, promote the establishment of local educational outreach programs, and facilitate regional collaborations that enhance ocean science education and increase ocean literacy.
