Distance Learning Resources
Online instruction and distance learning resources for educators and parents
To support all educators teaching remotely and parents homeschooling their children, the World Ocean Observatory has gathered 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 navigating a new learning future. Follow the links "for educators" or "for parents" to access home-study resources for teaching and learning about the ocean.

OUTLAW OCEAN MUSIC PROJECT:
A CROSSOVER BETWEEN MUSIC & JOURNALISM
All music in this project is based on THE OUTLAW OCEAN, a New York Times best-selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. The reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun-running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships, and other topics. The music is an act of solidarity across geography and language, and an attempt at storytelling from written word to music. It is a captivating collection of inspired songs. Take your pick: listen to ambient tracks, classical, electronic or hiphop.
