Since Shakespeare's first use of the term, "sea change" has come to mean a substatial change in perspective among society at large - just right to describe the ambitious aims of the Sea Change project! For the last three years, Sea Change has encouraged a greater understanding of public perceptions of the role the Ocean plays in our everyday lives and greater engagement on Ocean Literacy among marine educators, science communicators and policy makers.

For those interested in engaging general audiences with marine topics and Ocean Literacy, the Sea Change project leaves behind a strong legacy, with a set of resources and experiences to benefit to all science engagement professionals.

• “Our Ocean, Our Health” campaign and videos about the connection between humans and the ocean;
• “Make a small change for Sea Change” campaign and educational videos about concrete actions for Ocean Health in a variety of settings such as in the kitchen or on the commute;
• The marine Citizen Science project and app “Crab Watch”;
• Exhibition content: the interactive ebook “Harmful Algae Blooms” (great for touch screen displays) and the infographic “500 years of Ocean change” (suitable for printing in large formats);
• A set of learning modules and activities on marine topics and an online learning course.
