Initiatives

We strive to research, verify and share information to NMEA membership and its audiences in order to provide tools to make informed “blue-green” decisions.

The U.S. National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) International Committee supports increasing global participation in marine education and the promotion of ocean literacy around the world.

We are working to increase the number of members who represent and/or educate underrepresented population and non-U.S. audiences.

This initiative aims to build ocean literacy among children, youth, and adults locally and globally through formal and informal education.

We support the engagement of NMEA student members by creating opportunities for middle, high school, and college students to learn more about marine education and engage with professionals in the field.

We promote recognition, understanding and respect of traditional knowledge and rights as it relates to marine resources and ecosystems.
