Frontiers | Reframing jellyfish perception from “enemies” to “helpers” through Ocean Literacy Despite covering three-quarters of Earth’s surface and comprising 99% of its habitable space, the ocean remains underrepresented in formal education, contrib...

🪼 Turning jellyfish from villains into teaching allies boosted #OceanLiteracy in Spanish schools and shifted perceptions.

Through contact with scientists and digital tools, students and teachers learned more, adopted safer behaviours and stayed engaged over time. @icmcsic.bsky.social #OceanComms

For those attending #OSM26 and working at the intersection of ocean science and policy, this is a timely reminder.

Risk communication is not just about presenting data. It is about meeting people where they are, grounding messages in values, and making participation possible.

🌊 #OceanLiteracy isn’t just about knowing the science — it’s about shaping how society understands, values and governs the ocean.

Embedding it in governance, comms strategies and public engagement can help create adaptive, equitable and lasting ocean management.

Happy 90th to the incredible #SylviaEarle 🐳

Her deep dives and even deeper storytelling have inspired so many ocean communicators and divers.

Always generous, always full of energy, even with a queue of selfie requests! 💙

The antidote to the Jaws effect: These photos show a softer side of great white sharks Fifty years since the release of Jaws, these photographers are showing a different, less frightening view of great white sharks.

🦈 During #SharkWeek, we celebrated the communicators behind the lens using photography to help audiences see sharks, and the ocean, differently.

When we replace fear with beauty and facts, we create space for action.

Don’t sleep on our thread about breaking the doom spiral.
Because doom says “give up.”
But the full story says: there’s fight, there’s progress, and there’s still time.
Signal > noise.
Let’s share wisely. Let’s share hope. 🌊
#OceanHoptimism #HopeWithTeeth #NoDoomJustDo #OceanComms

👉 Did it end with agency… not just apocalypse?
👉 Acknowledge complexity without collapsing into hopelessness?
👉 Show who’s already doing the work?
If not, add your voice. Round out the story. Make the signal louder than the doom.
