The Marine & Inland Waters Research Symposium 2022 builds on the 36-year-long history of the Panhellenic Symposium on Oceanography and Fisheries. This new edition continues the legacy of the older symposium, while keeping up with the new trends and state of the art scientific achievements in all fields of marine and inland waters research. The Marine & Inland Waters Research Symposium 2022 is supported by the HCMR Researchers Association and the Panhellenic Union of HCMR Employees and is organized under the auspices of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR).
EuroGOOS is featured on the programme of this event in the session on Mediterranean Ocean Literacy. The presentation will showcase the EuroGOOS ‘Scientists for Ocean Literacy’ project endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030. The ‘Scientists for Ocean Literacy’ project aims to empower scientists as ocean advocates to their communities, countries, and regions, and help transform ocean knowledge and awareness into actions for sustainability. The project was developed from the work of the EuroGOOS Ocean Literacy Network which has been promoting the role of the European (including Mediterranean) oceanographic and meteorological agencies in educating and engaging with the general public towards a more ocean-literate society. The activity follows the strategic outlook delivered by EuroGOOS in its policy brief, titled ‘Ocean Literacy in European Oceanographic Agencies – EuroGOOS recommendations for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030’.
