The COSEE OCEAN Inquiry Group conducted its first conference call on August 23. Present were: Alan Friedman, Co-PI; Steve Uzzo, Co-PI; Lisa Craig Brisson, Coordinator; Vince Breslin, John Fraser, Katie Gardner, Sarah Schoedinger, Jerry Schubel, Steve Yalowitz, with Evaluator Carol Baldassari and Communications Manager Catherine Cramer. Alan offered an overview of the project and the general charge that we are to “cast an intelligent eye on what is out there” in terms of materials and programs for public ocean literacy and how the COSEE networks are working to achieve that goal, and where there are holes the COSEE networks could help fill. Our mission is to look across the whole COSEE effort and beyond to see how ocean literacy is happening, or not. Our final product will be a report to be released early in 2013.
