dc.description.abstractThe study examines the effectiveness of a marine education program in a Chilean marine protected area (MPA), designed using science education strategies to promote Ocean Literacy and sustainable decision-making. It involved 240 participants who engaged in activities illustrating ecosystem services, human impacts, and marine conservation, emphasizing interactive learning and practical application. A Teaching and Learning Sequence (TLS) was employed during a sustainable fishing game to connect theoretical knowledge with daily life decisions. The program significantly improved participants’ understanding of the human-Ocean connection, reflected in an average 9% increase in correct responses on post-activity surveys. Notable gains included awareness of ecosystem services and the impact of human activities, such as overfishing. Six to twelve months later, 44% of surveyed participants reported applying their learnings in sustainable consumption practices and sharing knowledge with others. This approach highlights the potential of TLS and experiential education to enhance Ocean Literacy and foster long-term behavioural change, which is critical for the successof MPAs and marine conservation efforts. Future research should explore broader applications of such educational strategies to create a more Ocean-literate society.
