I am delighted to announce that from January 2025 I will work with Aditee Mitra (Research Fellow, Cardiff University), Alistair McConnell (Assistant Professor, Heriot-Watt University), Imrose Muhit (Lecturer in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering, Teesside University), and Charles Maurice Pigott (Lecturer in Hispanic Studies, University of Strathclyde), on the UKYA project Making Waves.
Recognising the vital role of education in fostering ocean literacy, this project aims to embed vital knowledge about plankton ecology and the impacts of human activities within the UK senior school curricula.
Making Waves will develop innovative, inclusive learning resources through participatory storytelling and by co-creating engaging methods, ensuring that students of all backgrounds and abilities can access the information. The project will thus foster young people’s understanding and appreciation of marine ecosystems, empowering the next generation to continue the vital work of conserving and restoring our oceans for the future health of our planet.
