“To grasp the human-ocean connection, investigate how pollution, coastal communities, and marine life are intertwined. What insights can be gleaned to inform holistic solutions? How can we learn from the relationships between the ocean and those who interface with it? 

Through interacting directly with each of the three facets (exploring the ocean environment, understanding pollution and the science of the ecosystem, and engaging the coastal communities), we can form sustainable practices through the understanding of oceanic dynamics.”
