Reflecting on ocean education successes

Wow, what a year it has been! This year CaNOE hosted the first Ocean Literacy in Canada conference, elected the organization's first Board of Directors, and began strategic planning for the years to come.

As 2015 comes to a close, we encourage all our members to reflect on the ocean education initiatives you have heard about or been a part of this year. If you participated in an event promoting the work of CaNOE, remember to log it here on our education & outreach form.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we thank you all for your passion, effort, and continued work to help advance ocean literacy across the country.

'Because the Ocean' Declaration at COP21

We're jumping for joy with the recent announcement of the 'Because the Ocean' Declaration at the COP21 Conference in Paris. On November 29, 11 countries initiated and signed the “Because the Ocean” declaration, which calls for:

1. A special report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the ocean,
2. A UN conference on Ocean and Seas to establish a regular review and benchmarking of SDG 14, the UN Ocean Sustainable Development Goal, and
3. The development of an ocean action plan under the UNFCCC.
