Zandvliet, Simon Fraser University, Canada  \nAbstract  \nRecent scientific studies demonstrate conclusively that our planet faces an ocean crisis and efforts to mitigate this crisis should be addressed urgently. As many species are lost to extinction, conservation steps need to be taken and are indicated by targets such as those outlined by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainability and Development. Similarly, a clear agenda for ocean education should be encouraged as the first step toward broader conservation goals. Recently, the concept of ocean literacy has been described as a way to help communities and individuals develop a more holistic understanding of their influences on the ocean and the ocean’s influences on their lives. Still, ocean literacy has not yet been fully enacted in the K–12 curricula in Canada, and many environmental education programs are taking the lead to provide program participants with a broader understanding of the term.  \nIn this study, we provide a broad overview of ocean literacy initiatives as enacted by the Ocean Wise NGO. We examine how these have influenced the diffusion of ocean literacy in British Columbia. In our paper, we include a case study highlighting the diversity of Ocean Wise programs to provide a broad view on activities from the perspective of program participants. We selected a range of education programs for data collection, including school visits to the Vancouver Aquarium, off-site mobile programming (with AquaVan), and teacher professional development programs, both on-site and via an online learning platform. We explore what each initiative offers students with regard to connection to the ocean. Through an instrumental case study design, we combine qualitative approaches with observations, focus groups, and interviews to describe many currents of ocean literacy flowing from Ocean Wise and its broad and diverse ocean literacy programming.  \nRésumé  \nDes études scientifiques récentes montrent de façon concluante que notre planète est en pleine crise océanique et qu’il est urgent d’agir. De nombreuses espèces sont vouées à l’extinction; des mesures de conservation doivent être prises pour respecter les cibles fixées, notamment dans le Programme de développement durable de l’ONU, qui définit des objectifs pour 2030. Pour atteindre ces objectifsgénéraux de conservation, nous avons besoin d’un programme sur la connaissance de l’océan. Ce concept, plutôtrécent, est défini comme un outil pour enseigner aux communautés et individus une compréhension holistique de leur influence sur l’océan et de l’influence de l’océan sur leurs vies. Cependant, la connaissance del’océan n’est pas encore complètement intégrée au programme scolaire canadien de la maternelle à la 12e année. De nombreux programmes d’éducation relative à l’environnement prennent toutefois les devants etexpliquent ce terme dans le cadre  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 24 (1), 2021 163  \nde leurs activités. Dans la présente étude, nous brossons un portrait global des initiatives de connaissance de l’océan mises en œuvre par l’ONG Ocean Wise. Nous examinons l’influence de ces initiatives sur la diffusion de la connaissance de l’océan en Colombie-Britannique. Notre étude de cas souligne la diversité des programmes d’Ocean Wise, le but étant de donner un aperçu général des activités selon le point de vue des participants au programme. Pour la collecte de données, nous avons sélectionné différents programmes éducatifs, notammentdes visites scolaires à l’Aquarium de Vancouver, des programmes mobiles (avec AquaVan), ainsi que des programmes de perfectionnement professionnel des enseignants, offerts tant en milieu de travail que sur des plateformesd’apprentissage en ligne. Nous explorons également les enseignements sur la relation avec l’océan que les élèves retirent de chaque initiative.
