What does it take to explore the ocean? Join a live broadcast from the research vessel Marcus G. Langseth as it travels across the Pacific Ocean. In this session, students will learn about the Seven Principles of Ocean Literacy and how they connect to real ocean research happening at sea right now. Through shipboard stories, images from the expedition, and interactive questions, students will discover how the ocean shapes Earth’s climate, geology, ecosystems, and human life.
