Savannah State University (SSU), the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, and the Savannah Chatham Public School System (SCPSS) will engage graduate students, scientists, and K-12 teachers and students in a sustainable research-based education program to promote ocean literacy, science education, and research in coastal Georgia. The goal of the ?Building Ocean Literacy Program? is to expand ocean literacy and cultivate research skills in K-12 classrooms while developing graduate student skills in communicating science concepts to people beyond the research community. The program will pair marine science GK-12 fellows from a historically black university (SSU) with master science teachers and classes within the SCPSS. African-American students are over-represented in the SCPSS compared to the national average and the program will reach a wide and diverse audience. Fellows will engage classes in estuarine monitoring and in their graduate research activities to enhance research skills and ocean literacy in the school system. New graduate coursework will develop communication and teaching skills among GK-12 fellows, while teacher training opportunities will enhance teacher awareness of marine issues. Research activities of GK-12 fellows, teachers, and public school students, will focus on the local estuarine ecosystem and will directly support Georgia Performance Standards. Research and instructional components of this project will collectively 1) promote ocean literacy in K-12 classrooms, 2) enhance K-12 science instruction in Chatham County public schools, and 3) train the next generation of scientists to be competent, comfortable, and engaged in communicating science concepts to a wide array of audiences.

萨凡纳州立大学（SSU），海洋学的斯基德韦研究所，和萨凡纳查塔姆公立学校系统（SCPSS）将从事研究生，科学家和K-12教师和学生在一个可持续的研究为基础的教育计划，以促进海洋素养，科学教育和沿海格鲁吉亚的研究。 的目标？建立海洋扫盲计划？是扩大海洋素养和培养K-12教室的研究技能，同时发展研究生在科学概念交流的能力，超越研究界的人。 该计划将配对海洋科学GK-12研究员从一个历史上的黑人大学（SSU）与硕士科学教师和类内的SCPSS。 与全国平均水平相比，非洲裔美国学生在SCPSS中的比例过高，该计划将覆盖广泛而多样化的受众。 研究员将参加河口监测课程和研究生研究活动，以提高学校系统的研究技能和海洋知识。 新的研究生课程将发展GK-12研究员之间的沟通和教学技能，而教师培训机会将提高教师对海洋问题的认识。 GK-12研究员，教师和公立学校学生的研究活动，将集中在当地的河口生态系统，并将直接支持格鲁吉亚性能标准。 该项目的研究和教学组成部分将共同1）促进K-12教室的海洋素养，2）加强查塔姆县公立学校的K-12科学教学，3）培养下一代科学家，使其能够胜任，舒适，并参与向广泛的受众传播科学概念。
