Citation of Ocean Literacy

From the outset we have designed the ocean literacy work to be used as much as possible. Please feel free to use the principles and concepts in your work or publication.

We ask you to acknowledge the source with the following citation:

The citation for the Scope & Sequence should be:

This is the citation for the first edition of the brochure:
