- Population growth and social/technological developments have resulted in the buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and oceans to the extent that we now see changes in the earth's climate and ocean chemistry. Ocean acidification is one consequence of these changes, and it is known with certainty that it will continue to increase as we emit more CO2 into the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is a global issue likely to impact marine organisms, food webs and ecosystems and to be most severely experienced by the people who depend on the goods and services the ocean provides at regional and local levels. However, research is in its infancy and the available data on biological impacts are complex (e.g., species-specific response). Educating future generations on the certainties and uncertainties of the emerging science of ocean acidification and its complex consequences for marine species and ecosystems can provide insights that will help assessing the need to mitigate and/or adapt to future global change. This article aims to present different educational approaches, the different material available and highlight the future challenges of ocean acidification education for both educators and marine biologists.

- © 2018 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group The Ocean Literacy movement began in the U.S. in the early 2000s, and has recently become an international effort. The focus on marine environmental issues and marine education is increasing, and yet it has been difficult to show progress of the ocean literacy movement, in part, because no widely adopted measurement tool exists. The International Ocean Literacy Survey (IOLS) aims to serve as a community-based measurement tool that allows the comparison of levels of ocean knowledge across time and location. The IOLS has already been subjected to two rounds of field testing. The results from the second testing, presented in this paper, provide evidence that the IOLS is psychometrically valid and reliable, and has a single factor structure across 17 languages and 24 countries. The analyses have also guided the construction of a third improved version that will be further tested in 2018.

Marin pedagogik : Inventering av lokala behov av stöd och kunskapsmaterial
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Regeringen gav Havs- och vattenmyndigheten (HaV) i uppdrag att bidra till att stärka arbetet med utbildning för hållbar utveckling inom havs- och vattenfrågor, särskilt marin pedagogik. Uppdraget har genomförts av Havsmiljöinstitutet och forskare vid Göteborgs universitet som kontaktat lokala aktörer inom marin pedagogik, och inventerat deras behov av kunskapsmaterial och stöd.Marin pedagogik är ett verktyg för att skapa förståelse för hur havet påverkar oss människor och för hur vi påverkar havet, vilket kallas för ocean literacy på engelska och som översätts till havsmedvetenhet i rapporten. En marinpedagogisk aktör förmedlar information om havet och/eller sambandet mellan vatten och hav, vilket i sin tur kan ge upphov till havsmedvetenhet om mottagaren tar ställning till informationen och sätter in den i ett förståeligt sammanhang.Regeringsuppdraget avgränsades genom att inkludera aktörer vilka fokuserade helt eller delvis på havsvatten och som befinner sig utanför det obligatoriska skolväsendet.Aktörerna lyfter fram behov av:finansiellt stöd (som bör vara långsiktigt)nätverk (mötestillfällen skapas)databas (för att dela med sig av marinpedagogiska resurser.Aktörerna efterlyser kunskapsmaterial av olika slag, främst:skriftligt material/information (material anpassade för olika åldrarDigitala resurser (för att inspirera och engagera ungdomar)forskarkontakt (som behövs för metod- och faktakoll)

Using Virtual Reality in Sea Level Rise Planning and Community Engagement-An Overview
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Water. - : MDPI AG. - 2073-4441. ; 13:9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As coastal communities around the globe contend with the impacts of climate change including coastal hazards such as sea level rise and more frequent coastal storms, educating stakeholders and the general public has become essential in order to adapt to and mitigate these risks. Communicating SLR and other coastal risks is not a simple task. First, SLR is a phenomenon that is abstract as it is physically distant from many people; second, the rise of the sea is a slow and temporally distant process which makes this issue psychologically distant from our everyday life. Virtual reality (VR) simulations may offer a way to overcome some of these challenges, enabling users to learn key principles related to climate change and coastal risks in an immersive, interactive, and safe learning environment. This article first presents the literature on environmental issues communication and engagement; second, it introduces VR technology evolution and expands the discussion on VR application for environmental literacy. We then provide an account of how three coastal communities have used VR experiences developed by multidisciplinary teams-including residents-to support communication and community outreach focused on SLR and discuss their implications.

The European Marine Science Educators Association (EMSEA): Toward a more ocean literate Europe
- 2012
-
Ingår i: The Journal of Marine Education. ; 28:2, s. 44-47
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We always do our best to find colleagues or others with whom we can share ideas. As teachers, we now and then seek the company of a teacher association where we can learn from each other. As marine educators, in Europe, we have to travel a long distance to meet a group such as the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA). Meeting other marine educators takes us away from our islands and gives us the opportunity to expand our horizon. Attending the annual conference of the NMEA is by far an overwhelming experience that provides us with plenty of resources and also recharges our batteries! It simply makes us grow professionally in our jobs. But one has to be candid; travelling to the U.S. is not inexpensive and often time consuming. Few employers are willing to make this investment, especially when budgets are being reduced globally. In order to create meaningful collaborations with other members of the ocean community, Europe needs its own network of marine educators, a network that is closely affiliated with the NMEA and the international ocean community.

Questions as indicators of ocean literacy: students' online asynchronous discussion with a marine scientist
- 2017
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, 61 high-school students learned about ocean acidification through a virtual laboratory followed by a virtual lecture and an asynchronous discussion with a marine scientist on an online platform: VoiceThread. This study focuses on the students' development of ocean literacy when prompted to ask questions to the scientist. The students' questions were thematically analysed to assess (1) the kind of reasoning that can be discerned as premises of the students' questions and (2) what possibilities for enhancing ocean literacy emerge in this instructional activity. The results show how interacting with a scientist gives the students an entry point to the world of natural sciences with its complexity, uncertainty and choices that go beyond the idealised form in which natural sciences often are presented in school. This activity offers an affordable way of bringing marine science to school by providing extensive expertise from a marine scientist. Students get a chance to mobilise their pre-existing knowledge in the field of marine science. The holistic expertise of the marine scientist allows students to explore and reason around a very wide range of ideas and aspect of natural sciences that goes beyond the range offered by the school settings.

Nerve cells of Xenoturbella bocki (phylum uncertain) and Harrimania kupfferi (Enteropneusta) are positively immunoreactive to antibodies raised against echinoderm neuropeptides
- 2005

Ingår i: Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK. ; 85:6, s. 1519-1524
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The phylogenetic position of Xenoturbella spp. has been uncertain since their discovery in 1949. It has been recently suggested that they could be related to Ambulacraria within Deuterostomia. Ambulacraria is a taxon that has been suggested to consist of Hemichordata and Echinodermata. The hypothesis that X. bocki was related to Ambulacraria as well as the hypothesis of a monophyletic Ambulacraria is primarily based on the analysis of DNA sequence data. We tested both phylogenetic hypotheses using antibodies raised against SALMFamide 1 and 2 (S1, S2), neuropeptides isolated from echinoderms, on X. bocki and the enteropneust Harrimania kupfferi. Both species showed distinct positive immunoreactivity against S1 and S2. This finding supports the Ambulacraria-hypothesis and suggests a close phylogenetic relationship of X. bocki to Ambulacraria. In particular, the presence of immunoreactivity against S2 can be interpreted as a synapomorphy of Enteropneusta, Echinodermata, and Xenoturbella spp
