Coastal Resources
A vast majority of the world's population lives in the coastal zone, at the edge of land and sea. We live in mega-cities; we dispose of our industrial, agricultural, and human waste into streams and rivers that lead to the ocean; we look to coastal resources to support our growing urban populations, our demand for food and energy, and our need for recreation and personal renewal.

DISTANCE LEARNING RESOURCES
To support all educators and parents teaching from home in the weeks ahead, the World Ocean Observatory is pulling together a compendium of home-study tools and resources for teaching and learning about the ocean. These resources can be used by parents, schools, educators and others to address the educational gaps being created by local and national ‘shelter in place’ initiatives to help flatten the curve on the Covid-19 outbreak. This list of resources is a work in progress: please reach out if you have other key elements that we should be sharing with our global community.
