Engaging students to enhance ocean literacy
SHORE strives to increase ocean literacy by engaging students and teachers to implement the Mission Ocean’s objectives through activities and collaborative projects in schools. Within this project, the project partners will craft training and educational materials and courses in line with blue curricula for schools located in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Danube River, and Rhine River. Participating schools will secure grants to support the implementation of their blue projects. The most outstanding school project will be awarded “Ocean Ambassador of the Year”. Beyond awarding grants, SHORE serves as a comprehensive resource hub and a bridge between researchers, local stakeholders, and schools in the regional areas.

Objectives
SHORE will achieve six main objectives
The project follows six objectives throughout its duration:
SHORE:
A project in line with the EU Mission
“Restore our Oceans and Waters by 2030”
SHORE covers five regional areas
Baltic Sea
The Baltic sea is an inland sea surround by the countries of Northern Europe. Due to the low salinity level and the climate, the sea freezes on certain days of the year.
Black Sea
The Black Sea is the world’s largest body of water with a meromictic basin and the sea is that oxygen is dissolved only in the upper levels. It is an active marine ecosystem dominated by species suitable for brackish nutrient-rich conditions.
Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is considered as a biodiversity hotspot. While it represents 0.82% of the planet’s surface, more than 7.5% of marine species live there.
Danube River
The Danube river is the second largest river in Europe and crosses ten countries. It is the heart of Europe with agriculture, fishing tourism, commercial and industrial activities.
Rhine River
The Rhine river is known for the transport of industrial goods and people through Europe with great economic importance for the surrounding countries. It is home to diverse fauna and flora population of large fish, plants, and bird spcies.
SHORE is a Mission Ocean and Waters project funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme.
