OSES Advocacy Report now available!
Can sport help protect our oceans? Over the past three years, the OSES (Ocean Sustainability through Education and Sport) project explored exactly that.
Through collaboration with nine European partners, we worked with nautical sport organisations, educators, and environmental actors to create tools, pilot interventions, and educational approaches linking water sports with ocean literacy, environmental awareness, and climate action.
Three key publications are now available:
- Short policy overview (2-pager): A concise summary of the project’s achievements and recommendations for strengthening the role of nautical sports in ocean sustainability.
- Advocacy report: Recommendations, educational strategies, and tools for nautical sports clubs, federations, marine organizations, and policymakers.
- Comprehensive report: Full project journey, pilot interventions across Europe, and sport’s broader contribution to environmental education and ocean conservation.
Why it matters? Nautical sports connect people directly with the ocean. This relationship makes climate change visible and tangible, offering a unique platform to educate, inspire, and mobilise communities for environmental protection. Sport can engage younger generations and help citizens take action for a sustainable future.
