World Ocean Journal, Volume 5 OCEAN LITERACY

Volume 5 of the #WorldOceanJournal is dedicated to #OceanLiteracy. The work described in this issue of World Ocean Journal is based on the efforts of a group of ocean experts and educators to outline an Ocean Literacy curriculum intended to instill in educators and their students a full understanding of what the #ocean means for our lives, for all aspects of the wellness and welfare of the world ocean, and for the survival of humankind. We encourage you to share this volume of World Ocean Journal with friends, colleagues, educators and students as a valuable teaching tool and resource that can be returned to again and again. Thank you for reading--and sharing!

Late last year the Alabama Coastal Foundation (ACF) teamed up with a local waste management company to launch an oyster shell recycling initiative in the region. The program has since scaled up to 29 restaurants and interest is growing. Seafood restaurants commonly send discarded #seafood shells to #landfills; a handful of regions are beginning to put the shells to more productive use by returning them to the #ocean where they can be the building blocks of restored oyster beds.
