definition for: #knowtheocean

The #knowtheocean hashtag is both a statement that speaks to Ocean Network Canada's (ONC) broad mission and vision to "discover the ocean and understand the planet" and a call to action that invites people to get to #knowtheocean. It can be used for ONC content and non-ONC content that informs our broad science and non-science audiences about ocean literacy, marine life and ocean science (data, engineering, innovation). It is also used to engage people on our growing understanding of the importance of ocean knowledge in helping science and society understand our changing planet and climate change.
