While the ocean and seas are suffering under increasing human pressure, educators and public authorities have empowered citizens in Europe through projects and initiatives to increase their
knowledge on the ocean, and take more responsible decisions towards protecting the health of the ocean, which is a prerequisite to our future health.
The EU4Ocean Coalition, supported by the European Commission – DG Mare, now invites teachers (from kindergarten, primary school, middle school, junior high school, senior high school or vocational
schools, from the coast to landlocked countries) to bring the ocean on a more long term basis into
the classrooms all over Europe by taking up the Find the Blue challenge, and becoming part of the Network of European Blue Schools.
