WELCOME TO THE SCIENCE HUB

Science underpins everything we do at Ocean Generation – from our Comms to our Youth Engagement programmes.

WHAT IS THE OCEAN GENERATION SCIENCE HUB?

UNDERSTANDING
WHY THE OCEAN
IS ESSENTIAL TO ALL LIFE
IS THE FIRST STEP
IN RESTORING IT.

Ocean science can be complex. We make it simple.

Using the latest scientific consensus about some of the world’s biggest problems – like climate change and plastic pollution – we bridge the gap between research and the public, making Ocean science accessible to the world. Our Ocean Intelligence framework; how we translate Ocean science into engaging content has been endorsed by UNESCO.

Not sure where to start? Explore the four pillars of our Ocean Intelligence framework; from understanding the basics of the Ocean to the human impacts on the Ocean.

Our Position Statements

Four Pillars

Our Ocean Intelligence pillars anchor our youth engagement programmes and are tailored for each age group.
The Ocean is calling. Answer by exploring a pillar of interest.

OUR FUTURE

The Ocean is overflowing with solutions to Earth’s biggest problems. This pillar is our call to action to build an Ocean positive future and is an ever-growing hub of tools and resources to do just that.

Our impact

Our actions have been impacting the Ocean for decades, at a rate it simply can’t keep up with.

Not all human-made threats impact our Ocean with the same severity,
but understanding these 5 is essential to restoring Ocean health.
The longer you look at our Ocean Threats Map, the more there is to see.

Which Ocean threat do you want to learn about first?

POLLUTION

Industrial (incl. sewage); agricultural; noise; light; & plastic.

CLIMATE
CHANGE

Greenhouse gas emissions (like
carbon & methane)

COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT

Construction of dams & reservoirs; & habitat destruction (for ex. due to port and urban development).

RESOURCE
EXTRACTION

Plants (like seaweed); animals (incl. commercial fishing); mineral mining; & fossil fuels.

DAILY
OCEAN USE

Marine traffic; tourism;
& recreation.
