Ocean Literacy

An understanding of the ocean’s influence on you, and your influence on the ocean

FisherFolkFirst and Ocean Literacy

Small-scale fishers and fish workers throughout the world have a greater direct interdependency on the ocean than any other group of people. Therefore, developing ocean literacy among fisherfolk is essential for their livelihood security and for the conservation of ocean biodiversity.

Inclusive approach

FisherFolkFirst’s inclusive approach ensures that ocean literacy is accessible to marginalized groups, those who struggle to read, and fisherfolk with a diversity of cultures and languages.
