| In this time of global, pervasive, and irreversible threats to marine health, researchers and practitioners of sustainability science point to the broad and urgent need to create a more ocean literate society (Cava, Schoedinger, Strang, & Tuddenham, 2005). In a pilot project, DigitalOcean: Sampling the Sea, ocean science and social media were integrated in an online curriculum about sustainable seafood for high school students. A unique multi-source model was developed to test two hypotheses related to students' ocean literacy learning outcomes. Additionally, a process evaluation examined the transdisciplinary research project from the perspective of achieving the proposed eight goals outlined by the developers. |
