Evidence-Based Resources for Ocean Literacy

We provide foundational, high-quality educational tools for educators, schools, and families dedicated to integrating marine conservation into their learning environments. These open-source resources are freely accessible, adaptable, and designed to foster a deep, lasting connection with the marine world.

Our approach prioritises engagement over alarmism. We move beyond traditional environmental campaigns to provide clear, scientific insights and practical pathways for the next generation of ocean stewards. These resources are an investment in the future of our oceans - equipping students with the knowledge and agency to protect our shared blue planet.

OPEN SOURCE AND FREE FOREVER.

Big Blue Ocean Cleanup’s objective is to offer 7 to 14 year olds with an understanding of how ocean pollution impacts the natural environment and inspires them to protect it.

This is achieved in the downloadable 4 PDF’s topics below:

1. Seabirds
2. Oceans and Currents
3. Pollution Analysis
4. Looking to the future

Each topic aims to provide a basic understanding around the title theme, as well as outlining key points and how they are linked.

The lesson plans are designed to have the video presented at the start of the lesson. These videos raise the key points that will consequently be further developed within the teaching material provided, to give an overall contextual understanding. Each lesson will also contain various suggested activities that can be included/adapted/excluded from the lesson as you deem necessary.
