“…These ecosystems are important for coastal biodiversity, shoreline protection, livelihood creation, and carbon sequestration which can help to mitigate the effects of climate change (Lovelock & Duarte, 2019). However, much of the scientific expertise is centered in the developed world (e.g., Europe, the Americas, and Australia), because of greater access historically to resources (e.g., equipment, vessels, and survey skills; Egerton, 2019), and mature policy mechanisms that protect and conserve blue carbon resources (De Silva et al, 1986). While many parts of the developing world are doing exceptionally well with the resources at hand, others lack the expertise to participate fully in ocean science activities (Harden-Davies & Snelgrove, 2020).…”

Communicating the value of blue carbon ecosystems requires sound knowledge of biology, remote sensing, carbon assessment, policy, and approaches to restoration. We describe a successful training program where young professionals from developing countries are hosted in Australia and taught to communicate blue carbon science to researchers, policy makers, and the public. Across several programs, some run during the COVID-19 pandemic, participants increased their knowledge of important areas of blue carbon science by 58% to 74%. This integrative teaching platform gives participants the knowledge and skills needed to help solve the major challenges to the marine environment in their home countries.

A personal reflection on changes in marine science education over the past sixty years

Changes and needs in marine science (and natural science in general) training over the past six decades are discussed. Among these are: new technological advances; the loss of -ology courses; the loss of field courses and sense of place opportunities for students; the need for a more interdisciplinary approach to training natural science students; a need to better expose our students to threats to Earth’s biocultural diversity; a need to include more humanities in our student training, including addressing diminished readership and appreciation of the great books; the nature of creativity; the perils of the internet; and university emphasis on faculty overhead dollars and high-profile publications at the expense of student training and more creative research.
