Noémie Roy, Marine Affairs Program, Dalhousie University  \nAbstract  \nProtecting coastal ecosystems and communities requires the engagement of ocean literate citizens. Along the St. Lawrence Estuary, in Canada, a rural community mobilized to save its middle school by creating an innovative program connecting the existing curriculum to the ocean. This research explores the rationale, barriers, and enablers of including ocean literacy in schools through a case study of this program. Interviews and surveys with school community members showed that although the school managed to stay open, the program faces considerable barriers, including the lack of an educational framework, educational resources, and funding. Support from community members and access to a coordinator were the program’s greatest enablers. From these findings, I develop recommendations to support the establishment of similar programs in other schools.  \nRésumé  \nLa protection des communautés et écosystèmes côtiers nécessite l’engagement de citoyens sensibilisés aux enjeux océaniques. Sur les bords de l’estuaire du SaintLaurent, au Canada, une communauté rurale s’est mobiliséepour sauver son écoleen créant un programme novateur qui intègre l’océan au programme scolaire des élèves du début du secondaire. Laprésente étude de cas explore les fondements, les obstacles et les facteursfacilitants de l’intégration de la connaissance de l’océandans les écoles. Les entrevues et sondages réalisés auprès des acteurs du milieuscolaire ont montré que, bien que l’école soit restée ouverte, le programme a dû surmonter plusieurs obstacles, dont le manque d’un cadre éducatif, de ressources pédagogiques et de financement. Le soutien des membres de la communauté et l’accès à un coordonnateur ont été les facteurs facilitants les plus importants. Ces conclusions ont permis de formuler des recommandations pour appuyerl’établissement deprogrammes semblables dans d’autres écoles.  \nKeywords: ocean literacy, coastal communities, formal education, case study, Quebec  \nMots-clés : connaissance de l’océan, éducation relative à l’océan, communautéscôtières, éducation formelle, étude de cas, Québec  \nIntroduction  \nAs coastal ecosystems are influenced by both inland and marine human activities, their sustainable development requires in-depth understanding of the human impacts on the ocean and in turn, the impacts of the ocean on us  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 24 (1), 2021 113  \n(Crain et al. , 2009) . In the sustainable development literature, many papers call for “more education,” especially more environmental (e.g. , Österblom et al. , 2020) or marine education (Gough, 2017; McKinley & Fletcher, 2012; Schoedinger et al. , 2006) . Marine education can develop ocean literacy, most often defined as an understanding of “the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean”(Santoro et al. , 2017, p. 15) . Ocean literacy matters for the management of coastal ecosystems, as ocean literate citizens are empowered with the ability to make responsible decisions regarding ocean resources (Santoro et al. , 2017) .  \nResponding to calls for “more marine education” is a very complex undertaking. While calls for more ocean literacy often originate at the international or national levels, education is managed at the provincial and local levels. In Canada, marine education falls in a jurisdictional gap. In fact, the dynamic and interconnected nature of the ocean continuum (land, water, coasts, sea ice, open ocean, as defined by Glithero, 2020) itself defies jurisdictional boundaries and zones, much like education. On the one hand, ocean management is primarily the responsibility of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) . The DFO has neither an educational mandate nor extensive funds for education. On the other hand, the Quebec Ministry of Education affirms that environmental issues do not concern its sector (Sauvé et al. , 2018","cbCaiocKaJoHNxKE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiocKaJoHNxKE","pdf",599383,"English","# Introduction\n## Ocean literacy and education needs\n## Governance barriers in Canada and Quebec\n## Case study: Le Saint-Laurent dans ma classe","[{\"question\":\"Why does ocean literacy matter for coastal ecosystem management?\",\"answer\":\"Ocean literacy equips citizens to make responsible decisions about ocean resources, supporting sustainable management of coastal ecosystems.\"},{\"question\":\"What barriers did the program face despite keeping the school open?\",\"answer\":\"The program confronted a lack of an educational framework, insufficient educational resources, and limited funding.\"},{\"question\":\"What most enabled the program’s implementation?\",\"answer\":\"Strong support from community members and access to a dedicated coordinator were identified as the greatest enablers.\"}]","Can Ocean Literacy Save Our Coastal School? - Case Study | PDF",48]
