Irish Ocean Literacy Network

Since its establishment in 2016, the Irish Ocean Literacy Network (IOLN) has brought together like-minded individuals and organisations who passionately believe in the importance of the seas and oceans to the island of Ireland and its citizens. The aim of the Network is to improve coordination, collaboration, and capacity building of the island's 'Ocean Citizens' community to help achieve a common vision - an Ocean Literate Society across the island of Ireland.

The Network consists of a broad and diverse range of members including NGOs, public bodies, research and academia, education, private enterprises, and individuals from the public residing throughout the island of Ireland. By working together, it is expected that collective action and coordination can help achieve tangible measurable impact on society.

Network members collaborate to advance ocean literacy across the island. They accomplish this mission through sharing knowledge, capacity building, public awareness campaigns, outreach and advocacy.
