AlgaeTraits: a trait database for (European) seaweeds
Through the online AlgaeTraits portal, editors have access to the Aphia platform (the database behind WoRMS) to add new traits and related non-taxonomic information, and to make changes to already existing records. With this course, the AlgaeTraits editors will become more at ease with the online AlgaeTraits editing interface and will learn how to use the available functionalities and tools to standardize their actions and improve the AlgaeTraits and WoRMS databases.

Ocean Best Practices
This course is an introduction to the Ocean Best Practices System. A
best practice is a methodology that has repeatedly produced superior
results relative to other methodologies with the same objective; to be
fully elevated to a best practice, a promising method should be adopted
and employed by multiple organizations.
This short course provides an
overview of the importance and relevance of using and sharing Ocean Best
Practices and Standards, as well as on how to create, submit, share and
search for Best Practices in the Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS)
repository. This course is intended for University students, researchers
and ocean practitioners in general. It does not provide a certificate.

SMEE_2022
Supporting Marine Earth Observation Educators
The purpose of this training workshop is to share knowledge, skills, resources and training techniques so that attendees are able to independently train others on available Earth Observation (EO) data and tools. During the course, participants will work with others to create their own (learning) artefacts. This is an interactive knowledge exchange workshop, not a technical training event.
Aims and objectives:
- To support marine and earth observation educators in their training activities, by sharing Copernicus Marine data resources and exchanging experience of different learning approaches.
- To foster a community of marine EO educators who can collaborate in future.
- To co-create learning artefacts that can used in participants own training activities and more broadly by the Earth observation community.

Educating about the Ocean: Waves of change
We all depend on the ocean, yet Ocean
Literacy needs to be further enhanced worldwide. Formal and non-formal
educators are key to advance ocean sustainability. Ocean Literacy (OL) is ‘the
understanding of human influence on the ocean and the ocean’s influence on
people’. It is not only about increasing awareness on the state of the ocean,
but it is also about providing tools and approaches to transform ocean
knowledge into actions that promote ocean sustainability.
This course will provide a general overview of
the importance of the ocean, the challenges it faces, and ways forward for
sustainability. It will introduce the concept of Ocean Literacy, describe its
basic principles, tools and approaches, and provide understanding on how
educators can incorporate Ocean Literacy in their work.
